The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of an employee's claim to return to work due to procedural errors in the appellate review. The employee was absent from duty while caring for children during his wife's childbirth, but the first-instance court found him negligent for lacking formal documentation. The Supreme Court ruled that while the second-instance court could alter factual findings, it failed to conduct a new comprehensive evaluation of the evidence and explain why it rejected the first-instance court's assessment. Consequently, the case was remanded for a retrial to ensure proper evidentiary analysis.
