Jaywant Bhaguji Gadekar vs Balaleshwar Shikshan Mandal & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the conditional resignation tendered by the appellant on 16th August 1998 was not validly accepted by the management, as they later revoked their acceptance. The Court emphasized that the resignation was contingent upon the outcome of an inquiry, and since the management did not formally withdraw the acceptance, the appellant should be reinstated. The Court set aside the High Court's decision, affirming the Tribunal's order for reinstatement with back wages under the principles of service law.
