LIFE INSURNACE CORPORATION OF INDIA vs R. DHANDAPANI

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of a Madras High Court judgment regarding the entitlement of a removed employee to pension benefits. The Court held that even if the penalty of removal from service was justified, the employee was entitled to pension benefits as per the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically Section 11-A. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, emphasizing that the employee's removal did not negate his right to pension benefits accrued prior to his removal.
