    Summary The Madras High Court allowed K. Tamilselvi's writ petition and set aside LIC's termination order of December 18, 2017, finding that LIC failed to follow proper procedural safeguards under its own Service Rules and ignored her maternity leave circumstances. The court held that the respondents mechanically applied performance rules without providing required opportunities to improve, and ruled that maternity leave is a relevant mitigating factor that must be considered—a principle affirmed by the Supreme Court's dismissal of LIC's appeal in the Kerala High Court's similar decision. The petitioner was ordered reinstated but denied backwages. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
