casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Management of Krishnakali Tea Estate v. Akhil Bharatiya Chah Mazdoor Sangh (2004) The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of tea estate workers who participated in an armed gherao (lockout) on October 12-13, 1980, during a bonus dispute. The Court found the workers guilty of wrongful confinement of the Manager and property damage for approximately 8 hours, constituting grave misconduct warranting dismissal, even excluding allegations of document extortion. The Court set aside the High Court's reinstatement order, holding that disciplinary proceedings need not follow criminal court findings and the punishment was proportionate to proven charges.
