Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to remand the matter to the Labour Court for fresh consideration, while directing the respondents to pay 25% of the wages due to the workmen from the date of the Labour Court's award until payment. The Court emphasized the delay caused by the respondent's unfair conduct and mandated that the payment of arrears be completed within three months, failing which interest at 9% per annum would apply. The judgment reflects the principle of ensuring timely payment of dues to workers under Labour Law.
