U.P STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION &AN vs ZAHID HUSSAIN

The Supreme Court modified the Labour Court's award regarding back wages in the case of Zahid Hussain, who was terminated from his position as a driver by U.P. State Road Transport Corporation. The Court held that while the Labour Court found the termination illegal and granted full back wages, the respondent would only be entitled to 25% of back wages due to the circumstances of the case. The decision was made considering the respondent's long service and the need for justice, thus modifying the earlier award.
