Case Number Revision No. LHR-239 of 1983
Decision Date Dec 20, 1986
Hearing Date Dec 08, 1986
Decision The revision was dismissed as the learned Presiding Officer's decision dated 26-2-1983 was found to be without jurisdiction and of no legal effect. The grievance petition of the respondent was accepted with back benefits, and a new application under section 51 was held maintainable despite the objection regarding permission from the Court. The Court clarified that the officer who terminated the employee's services could be sued, and the directions were rightly issued against him in the capacity of Managing Director of National Tyre and Rubber Company. Thus, the revision was deemed unsuccessful and dismissed.
