Syndicate Bank vs General Secretary Syndicate Bank Staff ...

The Supreme Court, while exercising its jurisdiction under Article 136, upheld the Central Government Industrial Tribunal's Award directing the reinstatement of D.K. Dayananda, a clerk at Syndicate Bank, after finding that the termination of his services was unjustified. The Court noted that Dayananda's prolonged absence was not adequately addressed by the Bank, which failed to follow proper procedures before terminating his employment. The Court affirmed the Tribunal's decision to reinstate Dayananda without back wages, emphasizing the importance of fair treatment in employment disputes under the Industrial Disputes Act.
