Has it been proved that he was not following the Safety Rules or circumstances were beyond his control.

Also the Employer provided all the gadgets for upkeep of safety or not

It was proved beyond reasonable doubt in domestic enquiry by covering all the points mentioned by you. As a labour law practioner,  I know very well the procedure to be followed. I want to know only the judgments of HC and SC in this regard.

d/sir,

if any employee negligenty damage the company property or any thing in the plant premises he will be liable to bare damages. refer to the company certified standing orders act then we conduct domestic enquiry under the natural justice then we justify the same.

Dear Vijayakumar,

 

Why do you need HC/SC judgment when misconduct is very clear on the part of the worker that goes against the company's set safety rules/methods?

VIJAYAKUMAR (Asst.Manager Lega)     02 November 2011

Dear Sir,

We are going to punish a worker who is severly injured because of his own safety violations.  So we want to be clear, whether the injured workman can be punished?

Dear Vijaykumar,

You are confident that the worker violated all the safety norms and it is being proved in the domestic enquiry. To set a norm better to take the action, if you know the judgements or not some one will suggest him to proceed legally and he is going to challenge.

In due course you need to defend / deploy a lawyer so that he can take care of the activity.

Regards - kamesh
