SARDARI LAL vs CHAIRMAN,MANGING COMM.,M.C.POLYTC. &ORS

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to award a lump-sum compensation of Rs.3.00 lakh instead of reinstating the appellant was unjustified, given that the appellant had 23 years of service remaining. The Court increased the compensation to Rs.7.50 lakh, emphasizing the need for timely payment and warning of contempt for non-compliance. The appeal was disposed of with this revised order, with no costs awarded.
