2010 (4) TMI 965 - SC - Indian LawsWhether relief of reinstatement and back wages granted to respondent nos. 1 to 14 (for short, `the workmen') is justified? Held that:- Appeal allowed. Considering the fact that the workmen were engaged as daily wagers about 25 years back and they worked hardly for 2 or 3 years, relief of reinstatement and back wages to them cannot be said to be justified and instead monetary compensation would subserve the ends of justice. The compensation of Rs. 40,000/- to each of the workmen (respondent nos. 1 to 14) shall meet the ends of justice. Such payment shall be made within 6 weeks from today failing which the same shall carry interest at the rate of 9 per cent p.a.
