Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the appellant's resignation was not voluntary as it was submitted under undue pressure from the employer, thus constituting illegal termination of service. The Court emphasized that the acceptance of resignation on the same day raised doubts about its voluntariness, aligning with principles under the Bihar Shops & Establishments Act. The Court overturned the Division Bench's ruling, reinstating the appellant with full back wages and benefits.
