M/S. Amrit Vanaspati Co. Ltd vs Khem Chand & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision directing the appellant Management to pay 75% back wages to the respondent until superannuation or unit closure, citing principles of fair inquiry under Labour Law. The Court emphasized that the domestic inquiry against the respondent was not conducted in a fair manner, violating principles of natural justice. The Court affirmed the Labour Court's finding that the dismissal was unjustified due to procedural irregularities in the inquiry process.
