In view of the fact that the workman has already been reinstated in service and has been paid 50% of the back-wages and further that the counsel for the workman has undertaken to forego the remaining 50% of the back-wages, we modify the award to the above extent that the workman shall be entitled to only 50% of the back-wages, which he had already received as per order dated 31.01.2000.
