M/S. BHARAT ELECTRONICS LTD . vs ALOK KUMAR GARG — C.A. No. 3130/2007

Supreme Court set aside the Allahabad High Court's judgment that had ordered reinstatement of Alok Kumar Garg, an employee of Bharat Electronics Ltd. terminated in 1980 for excessive absenteeism (150+ days in 2 years). While the Court agreed the termination was illegal due to lack of domestic inquiry, it denied reinstatement given the employee's poor attendance record, instead directing one lakh rupees compensation payable within two months. Appeal disposed with no order as to costs (December 3, 2008). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
