    Case Summary: CWP/4768/2001 The High Court of Punjab & Haryana modified an Industrial Tribunal's award, increasing Partap Singh's back wages from 30% to 50% following his illegal termination as a Helper (Sept 1992-Jan 1994). While the Tribunal correctly found the termination violated Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, it failed to properly apply relevant factors—including short service length, fixed-period appointment designed to prevent benefits, and lack of gainful alternative employment—when awarding back wages. The Court clarified that back wages entitlement is independent of reinstatement and requires flexible, fact-based consideration rather than mechanical application.
