Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court of Andhra Pradesh erred in modifying the Labour Court's award by denying back wages to the workman without providing adequate reasoning. The Court emphasized that the High Court's decision lacked an explanation for its modification, particularly regarding the denial of back wages. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and directed that the writ petition be restored for a fresh hearing.
