In Brief
A daily wage driver employed by Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan sought relief after the Labour Court awarded reinstatement with back wages, upheld by the High Court's Single Judge. The Division Bench substituted reinstatement with Rs. 3.5 Lakhs compensation, citing loss of management confidence. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, holding the compensation inadequate given the appellant's long service. The Court enhanced the amount to Rs. 7.5 Lakhs as full and final settlement, payable within three months. No costs were awarded.
