Municipal Council, Jind & Ors vs Virender Pal

The Supreme Court modified the Labour Court's award regarding back wages, reducing the amount from Rs. 2,40,322 to Rs. 1,20,000, to be paid within six months. The Court held that while the appellant was liable for back wages, awarding the full amount was not warranted under the circumstances. The appeal was disposed of with this modification and no costs were awarded.
