Payment of Back Wages to Employee After Termination : Supreme Court Lays Down the Legal Principles

Payment of Back Wages to Employee After Termination : Supreme Court Lays Down the Legal Principles

"It would amount to grave injustice to an employee or workman if he is denied back wages simply because there is long lapse of time between the termination of his service and finality given to the order of reinstatement. The Courts should bear in mind that in most of these cases, the employer is in an advantageous position vis-à-vis the employee or workman."
