State Of Punjab vs Jagir Singh

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the termination of a workman under Section 10(1)(c) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court upheld the Labour Court's award for reinstatement but modified the back-wages from full to 60% due to the prolonged delay in the proceedings. The Court emphasized that while reinstatement was justified, the reduction in back-wages was warranted given the timeline of events leading to the dispute.
