4)what to do if this dropped 3 management witness do not appear in enquiry for depose & cross examination, remain absent in spite of summon issued by enquiry officer?? Is it burden on delinquent to bring them to enquiry?? Plz help
Yes, the dropped Management witness could be summoned as defence witnesses. However, this is a double edged sword. And resort to this step with caution and deliberation as to the pros and cons.
