In the case of Anil Kumar vs. Presiding Officer, the Division Bench of the Punjab High Court concluded that if an employee fails to resume their duties despite receiving multiple notices from the employer, it can be considered abandonment of employment. The court also ruled that the employer is only obligated to conduct an inquiry into the employee’s behavioral issues or absenteeism if the employee has completed a minimum of 240 days of service under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
