MANAGER,K.V.S.S.MANDAWAR vs MUKESH KUMAR SHARMA

The Supreme Court held that under Section 33(C)(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the Labour Court has the authority to compute monetary benefits for reinstated employees. The Court affirmed the Labour Court's decision to award full back wages but modified it to 50% due to the appellant's financial constraints and the lack of evidence regarding the respondent's gainful employment during the period of termination. The appeal was allowed in part, directing the appellant to pay the modified amount within three months.
