The Delhi High Court has declined to challenge the reinstatement order of a deceased DTC bus conductor who was terminated in 1991 due to a 15-day unauthorized absence. The court deemed the punishment of removal "shockingly disproportionate" and asserted that even reconsidering the penalty`s quantum would serve no purpose as the conductor was no longer alive.
A bench led by then Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma dismissed the appeal filed by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) against a 2003 labor court decision, which upheld the conductor`s reinstatement with back wages.
