S. S. SHETTY vs BHARAT NIDHI, LTD.

The Supreme Court held that the computation of the monetary value of reinstatement under Section 20(2) of the Industrial Disputes (Appellate Tribunal) Act, 1950, should not be based solely on breach of contract or tort but must consider various factors including employment terms and conditions. The Court found that the appellant was entitled to compensation for non-implementation of the reinstatement award, but limited to one month's salary due to the respondent's unfair labor practices. The Tribunal's assessment of Rs. 1,000 was upheld as a correct estimate of the reinstatement benefit.
