State Bank Of India vs Ram Chandra Dubey & Ors

The Supreme Court held that under Section 33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the Labour Court can compute back wages even if the original award is silent on the matter, as reinstatement inherently includes the right to back wages. The Court affirmed that the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's contention was justified, emphasizing that the award's intent encompassed back wages despite its lack of explicit mention. The Court upheld the Labour Court's order for computation of back wages, reinforcing the principle that reinstatement implies entitlement to back wages.
