WP/842/2011 : 1 : vss IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.842 OF 2011 Adam Piru Attar ... Petitioner V/s. Lala Urban Co-op. Bank ltd. ... Respondent Mr.A.S. Rao for Petitioner CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATE: FEBRUARY 7, 2011 P.C.: 1. The Industrial Court in the appeal filed by the employer has maintained the judgment of the Labour Court granting the petitioner reinstatement with continuity of service. However, the decision of the Labour Court with respect to the award of backwages has been set aside. In my opinion, the Industrial Court has committed no error by setting aside the direction to pay backwages. The Labour Court has observed that no evidence has been adduced by either the workman or the employer with respect to the relief of backwages. The Labour Court has then proceeded to grant the relief on the basis of conjectures and surmises. 2. In my opinion, the Industrial Court has rightly set aside the direction to pay backwages. No interference is called for. 3. Petition rejected.
