Finding under S. 33(2)(b) ID Act on fairness of domestic enquiry operates as res judicata in Labour Court proceedings: Karnataka High Court
“The Authority under Section 33(2)(b) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 cannot adjudicate on the merits of the finding in the domestic enquiry or on the penalty, as it has no jurisdiction to adjudicate on the merits of the findings in a domestic enquiry. Those questions have to be adjudicated in a subsequent industrial dispute, if raised.”
