Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's decision that employees who opted for voluntary retirement could withdraw their offers before acceptance, as per the principles of contract law. The Court emphasized that the Appellant's insistence on the non-withdrawal clause was not valid since the employees had expressed their intent to withdraw prior to acceptance. Consequently, the Court directed the Appellant to reinstate the employees with back wages, affirming the High Court's ruling.
