Case History
Summary The Supreme Court disposed of West Bengal's appeal on July 31, 2008, partially modifying the High Court's December 2005 judgment. While affirming the reinstatement of police constable Madhusudan Chowdhury (who was dismissed for unauthorized absence from March-June 2000), the Court set aside the 50% back wages award, deeming non-payment of wages adequate punishment. Chowdhury was allowed to continue in service, with a warning that future unauthorized absences would invite disciplinary action. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
