ALUMINIUM CORPORATION vs THEIR WORKMEN AND ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the burden of proof for any claim under the head of rehabilitation charges lies with the employer, and without proper evidence, such claims must be rejected. The Court affirmed the Tribunal's decision to deny the rehabilitation charge due to insufficient evidence and emphasized that balance sheet statements must be substantiated by competent witnesses. The Court also clarified that only the wage bill of workmen should be considered for bonus calculations, dismissing the appeals against the Tribunal's awards for bonus for the years 1957-58.
