LATE LT. CDR. ALOK AMBASTHA (D) THR. HIS LR. MS. PRITI AMBASTHA vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's substitution of the Labour Court's reinstatement order with a one-time compensation of Rs.75,000 was inappropriate. The Court enhanced the compensation to Rs.2,00,000, considering the appellant's long period of service from 1984 to 1993. The ruling emphasized the need to advance the interest of justice in employment matters, allowing the appeal with no costs.
