Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court vacated the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim and remanded the case for a new decision. The court found that while the employment contract expired due to the company's deregistration, the employer was legally obligated to rehire the former director because he had received unpaid leave for serving as a Member of Parliament. The decision established that the statutory right to rehire prevails over the expiration of the original contract, provided the employee is ready to work.
