Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of the Single Judge's judgment setting aside the Labour Court's Award under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court held that the appellant, as the son-in-law of a land-loser whose land was acquired for the Kaiga Atomic Power Project, was entitled to the job secured through a rehabilitation package despite subsequent matrimonial issues. The Court affirmed the Labour Court's findings that the appellant's marriage to Smt. Ganga was valid and that the termination of his employment was unjustified, thus reinstating the Award.
