What did the court decide?
Neither side filed documents before the Labour Court to show the nature of the respondent's work or to prove his unauthorised absence, and the petitioner-company took no steps against the respondent despite the alleged continuous absence; accordingly, the workman's evidence that he was not allowed to work is acceptable, i.e., the management failed to prove voluntary abandonment.
