Mangt. Of Narendra & Co. Pvt. Ltd vs Workmen Of Narendra & Co

The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's award of reinstatement with 50% back wages, confirming that the entitlement to back wages extends only until January 1995, as the industry was non-functional thereafter. The Court noted that the Division Bench of the High Court erred in extending back wages to January 1999 without sufficient evidence of the industry's operation post-1995. The Court emphasized that findings of fact by the Single Judge should not be disturbed unless proven perverse, thereby reinforcing the principle of finality in factual determinations.
