The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the employer against a labor court's decision to reinstate an employee. The employee was dismissed for failing to secure a tool room door with a key, instead using a board, which allowed a theft to occur. The court ruled that this single act of slight negligence did not warrant dismissal for cause or render the employee unfit for their position. Furthermore, the court found the employer's procedural arguments inadmissible due to a failure to cite specific procedural laws in the cassation petition.
