M/S. AMRIT VANASPATI CO. LTD. vs KHEM CHAND

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision directing the appellant Management to pay 75% back wages to the respondent under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically referencing Section 11A which allows for interference in dismissal cases if the inquiry is found to be unjust. The Court established that the domestic inquiry was not conducted fairly, thus the dismissal was deemed unjustified. The outcome favored the respondent, reinstating his rights to wages and benefits until superannuation or closure of the unit.
