Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court of Jharkhand, affirming that the respondent, G.S. Bihar Colliery Kamgar Union, is entitled to half the back wages. The Court found no grounds to interfere with the High Court's order, thereby reinforcing the principle that employees may be entitled to back wages under certain circumstances. The appeal was disposed of without costs.
