Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent, a nurse employed by the appellant since 2003, absented himself from duty for one and a half years (October 2008 to May 2010) and sought alternative employment during this period. He returned in March 2020 claiming unpaid salary. The Supreme Court remitted the matter to determine whether this constituted repudiation of the employment contract.
