S.D. Manohara vs Konkan Railway Corporation Limited

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether an employee can withdraw a resignation before its acceptance, referencing established principles from cases such as Suman v. Jain and Air India Express Limited v. Gurdarshan Kaur Sandhu. The Court concluded that the appellant's resignation was indeed withdrawn prior to acceptance, thus allowing the appeal and ordering reinstatement, while limiting the salary for the intervening period to 50%. The judgment emphasizes the importance of communication and acceptance in employment resignations under service law.
