Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the Labour Court's Award under the Industrial Disputes Act, directing the appellant to pay the respondent Rs. 2 lakhs instead of reinstatement as a daily wage Chowkidar, due to the respondent's delay of over 14 years in approaching the authorities. The Court referenced its earlier decision in 'State of M.P. & Anr. vs. Vinod Kumar Tiwari' to justify compensation over reinstatement. The appeal was allowed with no costs awarded.
