PETITIONER VERSUS Baresh c/o Faridabad Kamgar Union and another ....... RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present: Mr. I.S.Saggu, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Ram Bilas Gupta, Advocate, for respondent No. 1. *** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL) Counsel for the petitioner states that in compliance with the Award passed by the Labour Court dated 06.04.2009 (Annexure P-9), respondent No. 1 has been taken back in service. The only thing, which is left out, is with regard to the back wages. Counsel for the petitioner states that 40% back wages would be justified. During the course of hearing, counsel for respondent No. 1 has stated that respondent No. 1 would forego 25% of the back wages. CWP No. 15979 of 2009 2 Having heard the counsel for the parties and on going through the Award passed by the Labour Court, I am of the considered view that the interest of justice would be duly served in case 50% back wages are paid to respondent No. 1-workman. The Award passed by the Labour Court shall stand modified to this extent. Respondent No. 1 is at liberty to withdraw 50% back wages which stand deposited by the petitioner with the Labour Court, Faridabad in compliance with the order passed by this Court. For the remaining amount, the petitioner shall be at liberty to move an application for refund of the same. The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
