MGMT.OF M/S.INDIAN IRON & STEEL CO.LTD. vs PRAHLAD SINGH

The Supreme Court held that the termination of Shri Prahlad Singh's services by M/s. IISCO Ltd. was justified under the Standing Orders, specifically Orders 10(f) and (h), as he failed to resume duty after his leave expired and did not contest the termination for over 13 years. The Court found that the High Court's quashing of the Tribunal's award was erroneous, as it did not demonstrate that the Tribunal's findings were perverse or unreasonable. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's orders and upheld the Tribunal's decision, denying reinstatement and back wages to the respondent.
