State Of U.P. Thr.Secr.Irrigation & Anr vs Km. Shashi Joshi

The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's Award directing the reinstatement of the respondent, a daily wager typist, while quashing the order for back wages. The Court noted that the respondent had worked intermittently and there was no evidence she had not worked elsewhere post-termination. The appeal was partly allowed, reinstating the respondent without back wages, and directed her reinstatement within one month, failing which the appellants would have to pay her wages as a daily wager thereafter.
