In Brief
A workman challenged the High Court's decision to set aside an Industrial Tribunal's award in his favour regarding wrongful termination. The issue was whether he had worked continuously for one year as required by the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, Section 6-N. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, finding the High Court's factual finding binding and not perverse. However, the Court affirmed that amounts already paid to the workman under Section 17-B of the Act during litigation could not be recovered, as such proceedings are independent and not conditional on the final outcome of the termination dispute."
