Rajasthan State Electricity Board And ... vs Brij Mohan Parihar

The Supreme Court held that the resignation of the respondent from the Rajasthan State Electricity Board, effective from November 25, 1983, was valid despite the absence of a formal acceptance letter. The Court found that the respondent's four-year absence from duty and subsequent demand for retirement benefits indicated acceptance of his resignation. Consequently, the judgments of the High Court were set aside, affirming the resignation's validity and directing the Board to pay retirement benefits within three months.
