    Summary of Court's Decision The Industrial Court at Rajkot found that Kandla Port Trust's dismissal of employee Ramji Narain Maheshwari was illegal and unjustified. The Inquiry Officer had ruled the charges of suppressing material facts as unproven, finding only negligence in form-filling; the Disciplinary Authority's decision to impose dismissal was perverse and disproportionate to any misconduct established. Since the employee has reached superannuation age, reinstatement is not possible; instead, he receives 100% retirement benefits and 50% back-wages with ancillary benefits for the period between dismissal and retirement, payable within 60 days or with 7.5% interest thereafter. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
