Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the Labour Court's award, reducing the back wages 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 entire amount was not warranted under the circumstances. The appeal was disposed of with this modification and no costs were awarded.
