navadikar@vsnl.com, Introduction: - Domestic Inquiry (DI) is a familiar term to every HR/IR practitioner. As most of the time

whenever misconduct occurs termination is high on the options that an organization would take.

In today’s context no employer can discharge or dismiss a delinquent workman even for a serious misconduct

without following an elaborate procedure for taking disciplinary action.

There is chance that - a case may be filed with the Industrial Court the proceedings would soon

begin. In many cases, the employer is found to be at fault, not because of unfair termination, but rather lack of

proper preparation or documentation of the termination and its procedures.

Companies today need to take extra precaution to protect themselves from costly disciplinary action

proceedings and legal entanglement, which is where Domestic Inquiry comes in. The organization must
