DENA BANK vs KIRITIKUAMR T. PATEL

The Supreme Court interpreted 'full wages last drawn' under Section 17-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, determining it refers to wages at the time of termination rather than wages at the date of the award. The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision that the respondent's dismissal was illegal and mandated the appellant-Bank to pay revised wages, including increments and allowances, as per the settlements during the pendency of the writ petition. The Court's ruling emphasized the obligation of the employer to comply with statutory provisions during litigation.
