The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of D.K. Sharma, an ITDC employee terminated in 1991, awarding his family 50% of his back wages. Sharma's 34-year legal battle concluded posthumously, with the court upholding his claim of not being gainfully employed. The case journeyed through labor court, Rajasthan High Court, and finally the Supreme Court, with varying decisions on reinstatement and back pay before the final verdict.
