casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court heard the Government of India's appeal against K.B. Gopalam, a government employee dismissed for absence exceeding two years. The Court set aside the Central Administrative Tribunal's and High Court's orders that had reduced the punishment to reinstatement, finding their approach was "misplaced sympathy." Considering Gopalam's 20 years of service and family circumstances, the Court modified the punishment from dismissal to compulsory retirement with all consequential pension benefits, disposing the appeal on July 19, 2007. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
