Case Summary: C.A. No. 001574/2007 Divisional Engineer, Phones Kochi v. H. Ganapathi Iyer The Supreme Court allowed the appeal in part on February 26, 2009. The respondent, a telephone operator, was found guilty of misconduct and compulsorily retired. While the Kerala High Court upheld the guilt finding but deemed the punishment excessive, directing reinstatement with 75% back wages, the Supreme Court deleted the back wages award, holding that when misconduct is proved and punishment is reduced only as excessive, back wages are not justified as it would reward the guilty employee.
