Srikantha S.M vs Bharath Earth Movers Ltd

The Supreme Court held that once the appellant submitted a letter of resignation on January 04, 1993, which was accepted by the company on the same day, the resignation was effective immediately. The Court ruled that the subsequent withdrawal of resignation on January 08, 1993, was ineffective as the resignation had already been accepted, and thus the company was not obligated to continue the appellant in service. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that no illegality was committed by the company in terminating the appellant's employment.
