Kanhaiyalal Agrawal & Ors vs The Factory Manager, Gwalior Sugar ...

The Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the Labour Court regarding the dismissal of employees from Gwalior Sugar Company Limited for misconduct, specifically for collusion and contravention of prescribed procedures related to payment slips for sugar cane delivery. The Court emphasized that the loss of trust in the employees was justified based on the evidence presented, and thus reinstatement was not warranted. The employees were entitled to half salary and full returning allowance from the date of dismissal until the order date, as per the precedent set in 1990 Lab I.C. 995 (Dayaram & Ors. vs. The Gwalior Sugar Company Ltd. & Anr.).
