U.P. STATE FOOD & ESSENTIAL C.C. LTD. vs KRISHNA GOPAL — C.A. No. 3798/2005

Case Summary: C.A. No. 003798/2005 The Supreme Court dismissed U.P. State Food & Essential Commodities Corporation's appeal against Krishna Gopal, an ad-hoc salesman suspended on June 26, 1992 for unauthorized absence. Though departmental proceedings resulted in reinstatement with minor punishment, the Corporation accepted Gopal's resignation on October 28, 1992—after he had withdrawn it by letter dated October 13, 1992. The Court found the resignation acceptance unlawful as it occurred after withdrawal and affirmed the High Court's orders favoring Gopal. The Court awarded 25% of back wages (from suspension until his March 5, 2005 reinstatement) considering justice and equity, rejecting I.A. No. 3 of 2005.
