Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd vs Rathunath Bhagwan Satpal

The Supreme Court set aside the order directing the reinstatement of the respondent without back wages, allowing the respondent to be accommodated in a Class IV vacancy in Pune while protecting his pay and service benefits. The Court emphasized that the respondent's health issues were considered in this accommodation, and he would be eligible for any future Class IV vacancies in Sholapur. The appeal was disposed of with the question of law kept open, ensuring no costs were awarded.
