Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's decision that reinstated a police constable who had resigned, citing Section 50 of the Tamil Nadu Government Servants (Conditions of Service) Act 2016. The Court ruled that the resignation was not validly accepted as the required ninety days' notice was not adhered to, allowing the employee to withdraw her resignation before the notice period expired. Consequently, the Court affirmed the High Court's order for reinstatement with continuity of service.
