¶2The brief facts of the case are that the petitioner was appointed as a Senior Marketing Executive/Senior Sales Executive with the 1st respondent during March 2012 and was subsequently promoted to the post of Senior Sales Executive. His services were terminated vide order dated 1/3/2020, without any legal cause. No written termination order was issued, no domestic enquiry was conducted and no show cause notice was served on the petitioner. Page3 of 4

¶3Aggrieved by the said termination, the petitioner preferred an appeal under Section 41(2) of the Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishments Act, 1947, before the 2nd respondent Appellate Authority in Appeal No. TNSE-I/22/2020. By an order dated 16/12/2025, the Appellate Authority set aside the termination order and directed the 1st respondent to reinstate the petitioner with full back wages, continuity of service, and all consequential benefits.

¶4The case of the petitioner is that despite the clear mandate of the Appellate Authority, and notwithstanding personal representations, registered communications, and a formal legal notice, the 1st respondent has failed to comply with the order or reinstate him. Hence, the petitioner has approached this Court by way of the present Writ Petition.

¶5Heard the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing on either side and perused the materials available on record.

¶6Since the petitioner has already obtained a favourable order from the Appellate Authority and the same is not appealed by the first respondent, the petitioner shall be reinstated forthwith. Page4 of 4 K.SURENDER,J mvs.
