Death Penalty Not Warranted': Chhattisgarh HC Commutes Capital Sentence Awarded To Man For Murder Of Wife & Three Minor Children

The Delhi High Court ruled that resignation during the pendency of an inquiry or investigation is generally not accepted. The court emphasized that an employee’s resignation while an inquiry or investigation is ongoing could be seen as an attempt to evade disciplinary action. The ruling stressed that employers have the right to complete the investigation or inquiry before accepting the resignation. The decision aims to prevent employees from resigning to avoid facing consequences for misconduct. It serves to ensure that disciplinary processes are not undermined and that employees cannot escape accountability by resigning mid-proceedings.
