Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the First Appellate Authority's decision to order a fresh appointment instead of reinstatement with continuity of service and back wages was justified under the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971. The Court held that the appellant's dismissal was based on proven negligence in driving, and the First Appellate Authority's order was appropriate as it did not warrant reinstatement with back wages. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decisions.
