New Delhi: A woman employee of an Oberoi group flight catering firm, sacked for allegedly stealing a few chocolates meant for air passengers, has been restored her job by the Delhi high court.
Over 11 years after she was sacked in July 2000, a bench of Justice P K Bhasin ordered the woman's reinstatement, setting aside the departmental inquiry findings of Oberoi Flight Services, which caters food and beverages to various airlines for their on-board passengers.
While ordering restoration of the woman's job, the court also asked the firm to pay 40 per cent of her back wages for the period she was out of job.
"Since the alleged misconduct of the petitioner (woman) cannot be said to have been established by the respondent, management, this petition deserves to be allowed and is accordingly allowed. "The labour court holding the petitioner guilty of committing theft of eleven chocolates and directing the management to award her appropriate punishment other than dismissal from service is also set aside," the court said.
