Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Calcutta High Court's decision that had allowed the appeal of the West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company, which challenged the reinstatement of Rathin Ghosh. The court found that the dismissal of Ghosh was unjustified and reinstated him with all consequential benefits, emphasizing the importance of fair procedure in employment matters.
