The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the respondent was entitled to full back wages from the date of termination until reinstatement, emphasizing that the Labour Court's refusal to grant full back wages was illegal. The Court noted that the respondent was wrongfully terminated without notice or retrenchment compensation, violating principles of fair labor practices. The appeal by the employer was dismissed, affirming the High Court's modification of the Labour Court's award.
