The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's order reinstating M. Maria Soosai, an employee of the Appellant Society, who was dismissed for failing to report to work. The Court found that the dismissal was not justified as the Respondent had raised a dispute regarding his resignation, which was pending before the Labour Court. The Court emphasized the importance of following due process in employment matters, particularly under the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies' Rules, 1988, and ordered the Appellant Society to comply with the reinstatement order along with back wages and benefits.
