Nutan Bharti Gram Vidyapith vs Government Of Gujarat

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing a private college to pay retiral benefits to a former employee, despite the college's dismissal of the employee for misconduct. The Court clarified that the employee's service should be treated as continuous, entitling him to all retiral benefits, while setting aside the previous order for back wages. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the state's policy on retiral benefits, mandating payment within eight weeks with interest if delayed, thus reinforcing the principles of service law and employee rights under the relevant statutes.
