The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's judgment, which had granted the employee's request to reinstate him to work. The lower court incorrectly determined that the employee filed his lawsuit within the statutory deadline, ignoring that the termination notice was only deemed delivered upon postal receipt. The Supreme Court ruled that the lower court failed to apply the specific provision regarding the restoration of expired procedural time limits, necessitating a remand for a new trial.
