Judgment text excerpt
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, who had been terminated due to unauthorized absence. The Court found that the Tribunal's decision to reinstate Dayananda without back wages was justified, as the Bank had not followed proper procedures before terminating his services. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to procedural fairness in employment matters, ultimately dismissing the Bank's appeal.
