INDIAN TELEPHONE INDS. LTD.&ANR vs PRABHAKAR H. MANJARE

The case concerns the validity of second dismissal orders passed by an employer after the first orders were invalidated by a Tribunal for non-compliance with Section 33(2)(b) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The employer treated the initial failure to pay one month's wages as a mere technical breach and dismissed the employees again without a fresh inquiry or payment of intervening wages. The legal issue focuses on whether such a procedural shortcut satisfies the statutory requirements of the Act.
