Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the Labour Court regarding the dismissal of employees from Gwalior Sugar Company Limited for misconduct involving collusion and procedural violations in the payment of sugar cane requisition slips. The Court affirmed that the loss of trust in the employees due to their actions justified the dismissal, and thus, reinstatement was not warranted. The Court also referenced the precedent set in 1990 Lab I.C. 995 (Dayaram & Ors. vs. The Gwalior Sugar Company Ltd. & Anr.) regarding compensation, allowing half salary and full returning allowance from the date of dismissal until the order date.
