Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of compensation for illegal termination of a daily wager, emphasizing the need for fair compensation under Service Law. The Court reinstated an additional compensation of Rs.1,50,000/- to the appellant, who had worked for 15 years, after the High Court reduced the Labour Court's award from Rs.5,00,000/- to Rs.2,00,000/-. The Municipal Corporation was directed to pay the amount with interest at 6% per annum from the date of termination, ensuring justice for the appellant.
