Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport ... vs Abdul Kareem

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the reinstatement of D. Shanker, a Conductor with A.P.S.R.T.C., and the issue of notional increments post-reinstatement. The Court held that the Labour Court's decision to reinstate Shanker without back wages was valid, but the denial of notional increments was unjustified. The Court emphasized that employees reinstated after wrongful dismissal are entitled to notional increments for the period of their absence, aligning with principles of fairness and justice under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
