Bench: 2 — Abhay Manohar Sapre

In Brief

Life Insurance Corporation of India appealed against a High Court judgment setting aside Mr. Kalappa M. Sankad's termination order. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, finding the termination lacked legal merit. As Mr. Kalappa died during litigation, reinstatement was not possible. The Court awarded back wages of Rs. 20,57,107.18 minus statutory deductions (Rs. 12,59,313.18), rejecting claims based on hypothetical pay rises and promotions. Payment was ordered within three months.
