Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's Award dated 30th October 1991, directing the reinstatement of two workmen represented by the Hydro Electric Employees Union. However, the Court limited the back wages to the period from the date of the Award, rejecting the union's claim for back wages from the date of termination. The Court ordered that eligible benefits be disbursed within one month from the date of the judgment, ensuring continuity of service as per the Labour Court's directive.
