1957 (9) TMI 41 - SC - Indian Laws

Whether the respondent was denied a reasonable opportunity to present his case?

Whether he was prevented from cross examining the witnesses, who gave evidence in support of the charge?

Held that:- No violation of the principles of natural justice. The witnesses have been,examined at great length, and have spoken to all relevant facts bearing on the question, and it is not suggested that there is any other matter, on which they could have spoken. We do not accept the version of the respondent that he was not allowed to put any questions to the witnesses. The enquiry before Mr. Byrne was not defective, that the respondent had full opportunity of placing his evidence before him, -and that he did avail himself of the same.
