When the incident of misconduct has been admitted by the delinquent, mere non-examination of the witness would not vitiate the order of dismissal. Report of ESI Medical Board cannot be overturned by the Court unless the same is mala fide. It is for the workman to bring on record any document supporting his argument that he had worked for 240 days in the year preceding the date of retrenchment. A seasonal worker performing work intermittently cannot raise a claim of reinstatement citing artificial breaks belatedly after 10 years. Amount mentioned in the salary voucher of the employee, instead of depositions, will be considered for ascertaining the actual salary received. Daily wager who has intermittently worked for 243 days preceding his termination is not entitled for compensation enhancement from Rs.2 Lakh to Rs.5 Lakh. Payment of gratuity cannot be denied merely because the worker was working on a day to day basis. Interest on gratuity is mandatory when the management contested the matter before the Controlling and Appellate Authorities. Management can be held liable for defamation when false allegations were made in the termination letter of the employee. The family of a watchman deployed on night duty, who met with an accident 5 kms away while he was proceeding towards his workplace, will be entitled to accident compensation. Excess amount paid cannot be recovered from gratuity. Espousal would be valid when a significant of workman were representing a cause for each other even in the absence of a union. The plea that the employee was not a 'workman' under the ID Act cannot be taken before the High Court for the first time.
