U.P State Road Transport Corporation ... vs Zahid Hussain

The Supreme Court modified the High Court's order regarding back wages awarded to a terminated employee, holding that while the Labour Court found the termination illegal, the respondent was entitled to only 25% of back wages instead of full back wages due to the absence of work during the relevant period. The Court emphasized the need for justice in the context of the respondent's long service and the circumstances of the case. The decision was made under the principles of Labour Law, particularly concerning the legality of termination and back wages.
