L.I.C. OF INDIA vs CENTRAL INDS. TRIBUNAL JAIPUR

The Supreme Court held that the order of removal from service operates from December 12, 1969, as established in the earlier case of R. Thiruvirkolam vs. The Presiding Officer. The Court set aside the direction for payment of wages to the deceased workman from December 12, 1969, to December 7, 1987, affirming that the removal date is not subject to any subsequent date. However, the interim payment of Rs. 50,000 to the heirs of the deceased workman was not required to be refunded to the employer, and the appeal was allowed without costs.
