P.G.I.Of M.E. & Research, Chandigarh vs Raj Kumar

The Supreme Court held that the Labour Court's decision to award 60% back wages upon reinstatement was justified under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically referencing Section 25(F) and Section 25(b). The Court found that the High Court erred in modifying this decision without sufficient justification, emphasizing that full back wages are not automatically warranted unless the circumstances dictate otherwise. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the Labour Court's original order regarding back wages.
