D.T.C vs Gian Chand

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order directing the reinstatement of the respondent with 60% back wages was unjustified. The Court vacated the back wages award while allowing the respondent's reinstatement with continuity of service and the opportunity to opt for pension before superannuation. The decision clarified that while the respondent is deemed in service for non-monetary benefits, monetary benefits such as back wages are not applicable in this case.
