G. T. Lad & Ors vs Chemicals & Fibres Of India Ltd on 6 December, 1978
38. Observation of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the Case of G.T.Lad v.
Chemical and Fibres of India Ltd., reported in (1979) 1 SCC 590 throws
great deal of light on this aspect, The Court noted: ".. In the unabridged
edition of the Random House Dictionary, the word 'abandon' has been
explained as meaning 'to leave completely and word 'abandon' has been
explained as meaning 'to leave completely and finally; forsake utterly; to
relinquish, renounce; to give up all concern in something'. ...It must be total
and under such circumstances as clearly to indicate an absolute
relinquishment. The failure to perform the duties pertaining to the office must
be with actual imputed intention, on the part of the officer to abandon and
relinquish the office. The intention may be inferred from the acts and conduct
of the party, and is a question of fact. Temporary absence is not ordinarily
sufficient to constitute an 'abandonment of office'."

Deepali Gundu Surwase vs Kranti Junior Adhyapak & Ors on 12 August, 2013
43. The workman-herein has sought the relief of reinstatement in the
service with full back wages along with the continuity of service and all the
consequential benefits. The term "reinstatement" has not been elucidated
in the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary,
Vol. II, 3rd Edition stated that, the word "re- instate" means to reinstall or
re-establish (a person or thing in a place, station, condition etc.); to restore
to its proper and original state; to reinstate afresh and the word
"reinstatement means the action of reinstating; re-establishment. "As per
Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, "reinstatement" means 'to reinstall, to
re-establish, to place again in a former state, condition, or office, to restore
to a state or position from which the object or person had been removed'.
In cases of wrongful termination of service, reinstatement with continuity
and back wages is the normal rule. Held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in
Deepali Gundu Surwase v. Kranti Junior Adhyapak Mahavidyalaya and Ors.
(2013) 10 SCC 324. The concept of reinstatement was also discussed
therein: "17. The very idea of restoring an employee to the position which
he held before dismissal or removal or termination of service implies that
the employee will be put in the same position in which he would have
been but for the illegal action taken by the employer."

Supreme Court has laid down : "In the very nature of things there cannot
to a straightjacket formula for awarding relief of back wages. All relevant

Page 15 of 17
addressed to the discretion of the Tribunal. Full back wages would be the
normal rule and the party objecting to it must establish the circumstances
necessitating departure. At that stage the Tribunal will exercise its
discretion keeping in view all the relevant circumstances..."
Rajinder Kumar Kindra vs Delhi Administration Through ... on 27 September, 1984
46. So far as the expression "gainful employment in an establishment" is
concerned, it has been held by the courts that the self-employment too is
not employment in an establishment. This question fell for consideration
before the Apex Court in (1984) 4 SCC 635 entitled Rajinder Kumar Kundra
Vs. Delhi Administration while considering the question relating to award of
back wages, the court noticed thus:- "... the appellant (workman) in his
cross- examination has admitted that during his forced absence from
employment since the date of termination of his service, he was
maintaining his family by helping his father-in-law Tara Chand who owns a
coal depot, and that he and the members of his family lived with his
father- in-law and that he had no alternative source of maintenance. If this
is gainful employment, the employer can contend that the dismissed
employee in order to keep his body and soul together had taken to
begging and that would as well be a gainful employment. The gross
perversity with which the employer had approached this case has left us
stunned. If the employer after an utterly unsustainable termination order
of service wants to deny back wages on the ground that the appellant and
the members of his family were staying with the father-in-law of the
appellant as there was no alternative source of maintenance and during
this period appellant was helping his father-in- law of the appellant as
there was no alternative source of maintenance and during this period
appellant was helping his father-in-law Tara Chand who had a coal depot, it
cannot be said that the appellant was gainfully employed. This cannot be
said to be gainful employment so as to reject the claim for back wages.
There is no evidence on the record to show that the appellant was
gainfully employed during the period of his absence from service.
Therefore, the appellant would be entitled to full back wages and all

consequential benefits."
