PRADEEP S/O RAJKUMAR JAIN vs MANGANESE ORE(INDIA) LIMITED

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal of a Chartered Accountant who was dismissed from his position after being suspended for late reporting due to personal circumstances. The Division Bench had ordered his reinstatement but denied him backwages. The Court examined whether the denial of backwages was justified, ultimately ruling that the appellant was victimized and that the disciplinary proceedings lacked justification, thus allowing the appeal in part.
