On December 29 he emailed again, advising he was still sick and was seeking a second medical opinion. That night he visited a doctor at a Suva hospital.
On his return, he produced a medical certificate, which his manager Ricky Henry suspected was falsified.
After a lengthy disciplinary process, Mr Narayan's employment was terminated in March.
The Employment Relations Authority (ERA) ruled in Telecom's favour last year, and said the company had "conducted fair and reasonable investigation before dismissing Mr Narayan", and that he "was justifiably dismissed".
Mr Narayan was ordered by the ERA to pay Telecom $4000.
He appealed against the decision with the Employment Court, and said Mr Henry had threatened him with violence and dismissed him on racial grounds .
He also sought compensation and lost wages.
Last week, the court overruled the ERA decision, saying that while Mr Narayan was given a fair disciplinary process, the decision to dismiss him was "not justifiable" and Telecom had taken "an inappropriately suspicious stance in the matter from the outset".
The court ruled that Mr Narayan should receive a month's wages and $7000 in compensation.
However, the court ruled there was not enough evidence to suggest Mr Henry's motives were as Mr Narayan suggested or that threats were made against him.
Telecom Human Resources general manager Danielle George said today that Telecom stood by its actions but would accept the judge's decision.
"This has been a long and difficult process for us and for Mr Narayan, and we do not wish to stretch it out any further," Ms George said.
"We were pleased to see that the judge was comfortable with Telecom's processes for handling this case."
Attempts to reach Mr Narayan for comment were unsuccessful.
