1987 Supreme(SC) 242
SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
M.P. THAKKAR AND B.C. RAY, JJ.
Union of India and another, Appellants
Versus
Sri. Babu Ram Lalla, Respondent.
Civil Appeal No. 1519 of 1973, D/- 20-2-1987.
Headnote:TERMINATION ORDER FOUND TO BE NULL AND VOID—HELD CONCERNED EMPLOYEE IS ENTITLED TO REINSTATEMENT AND BACK WAGES
Judgment
JUDGMENT :- We agree wholly with the reasoning and conclusion of the High Court. Since the order of termination of service of the respondent was rightly held to be a nullity he was entitled to be paid salary on the footing that he had always continued in service and the void order was never in existence in the eye of law. The appeal, therefore, fails and is dismissed with no order as to costs.
Appeal dismissed.
