CASE SUMMARY: L.P.A No. 827/2025 - Siya Singh v. State of Bihar The Patna High Court allowed Siya Singh's appeal and set aside the Single Judge's order, ruling that the unchallenged 2006 Labour Court award granting full back wages upon wrongful dismissal must be enforced. The court held that full back wages is the normal rule in illegal termination cases, rejecting the corporation's "no work, no pay" defense and warrant recall without payment as ultra vires. Singh, dismissed in 1978 for misconduct, was vindicated in 2006 but received only Rs. 11,70,990 instead of full entitlements due to financial hardship claims—the appellate bench found this violated statutory execution principles. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
