Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of Awadhesh Kumar Sharma, reinstating him as a Conductor with continuity of service but without back-wages, following the Labour Court's decision which had been set aside by the High Court. The Court noted the appellant's willingness to forgo back-wages and directed the respondents to permit him to join duty within four weeks. This decision emphasizes the importance of reinstatement in service matters under Labour Law, particularly when the employee is ready to compromise on financial claims.
