Summary of Case I.D.No. 40/2021 (A.Gopi) The Labour Court awarded A.Gopi (age 27) a lump-sum compensation of Rs.40,000 in lieu of his reinstatement claim against Motherson Automotive Technologies & Engineering. The court found that while Gopi completed probation on 01.10.2019 under Model Standing Orders, he was terminated on 27.08.2019 citing unsatisfactory performance. The court ruled the termination legally questionable due to lack of documentary evidence (performance appraisal forms) supporting poor performance claims and found the employer failed to follow fair procedures, though it declined full reinstatement and back wages as a compromise solution. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
