Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Madhya Pradesh High Court confirming the Labour Court's order to reinstate Somdutt Sharma without back wages. The court found that the Labour Court had acted within its jurisdiction in directing reinstatement but was justified in denying back wages due to the circumstances of the case. The appeal by the State of Madhya Pradesh was dismissed, affirming the lower court's rulings.
