Vismay Digambar Thakare vs Ramchandra Samaj Sewa Samiti & Ors

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal in part, directing the respondents to pay the appellant Rupees one lakh as full and final settlement for back wages. The Court noted that the parties had reached an amicable settlement, and thus it was unnecessary to delve into the merits of the arguments regarding the entitlement to back wages under the precedents cited, including U.P. State Brassware Corpn. Ltd. v. Uday Narain Pandey and Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan v. S.C. Sharma. The Court mandated payment within three months, failing which interest at 10% per annum would accrue.
