AWADHESH KUMAR SHARMA vs U.P.S.R.T.C. .

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. The Court set aside the High Court's order which had overturned the Labour Court's reinstatement. The appellant's readiness to forgo back-wages was noted, and the respondents were directed to allow him to join duty within four weeks. This judgment emphasizes the importance of reinstatement in service law cases where procedural fairness is upheld.
