M/S ATLAS CYCLE (HARYANA) LTD. vs KITAB SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to reinstate Kitab Singh under Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, emphasizing that resignation was not voluntary due to coercion. The Court clarified that the employer's failure to provide compensation and the circumstances surrounding the resignation warranted reinstatement. The Court confirmed the High Court's order for reinstatement with 25% back wages, establishing that coercive actions by the employer invalidate a resignation.
