The petitioner submitted his explanation on 24.06.1988, denying the charges. Not satisfied with the explanation offered by the petitioner, the respondent dismissed him from service, by order dated 12.12.1989. Aggrieved over the same, the petitioner filed I.D. No.30 of 1999 before the Labour Court, Cuddalore, questioning the correctness of the order of the Management, dismissing him from service. By order dated 24.02.2004, the Labour Court, directed the respondent to re-instate the petitioner into service with 50% back wages, continuity of service and other benefits.
