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 terms of the scheme. The Court emphasized that the Appellant's refusal to allow withdrawal was incorrect, leading to the reinstatement of the employees with back wages. The Court noted that the Appellant had already paid amounts under the voluntary retirement scheme, but this did not preclude the employees from their rights to reinstatement.
