A. DEVADANAM vs RLY. BOARD — C.A. No. 759/1998

Case Summary: A. Devadanam v. Railway Board (C.A. No. 759/1998) On November 29, 2000, the Supreme Court disposed of these appeals by railway employees terminated for participating in a strike. The Court directed reinstatement of three eligible appellants (C.A. Nos. 758, 759, 761) without back wages but with service continuity for pension calculations; those already superannuated (C.A. Nos. 760, 762) received three years' compensation within three months; and the deceased appellant's dependents (C.A. No. 763) received similar compensation. The relief was granted based on findings that the terminations were arbitrary, though relief was limited to those who had pursued litigation before this order date.
