Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the High Court's order regarding compensation under the Labour Law, increasing the amount from Rs.50,000 to Rs.2 lakhs for the appellant, Faridan. The Court held that the original compensation was inadequate considering contemporary standards and emphasized the need for fair compensation in employment disputes. The Court directed that the enhanced amount be paid within two months, while upholding the other directions of the High Court.
