Executive Engineer, G M C and or v. Lakhu and Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court modified an equal remuneration award where the workman had already been reinstated. The Court allowed reinstatement but set aside the back wages granted by the Labour Court due to the long pendency of the dispute and the short period of actual service.
What did the court decide?
Reinstatement and continuity of service awarded by the Labour Court affirmed, but back wages granted in the award are set aside.
