    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana held that PEPSU Road Transport Corporation illegally terminated workman Pawan Kumar's employment based on his HIV-positive status, violating the HIV/AIDS (Prevention and Control) Act, 2017. Though finding the termination illegal, the court awarded Rs. 10 lakhs lump-sum compensation instead of reinstatement, considering the 12-year litigation period and impracticality of reinstatement after such extended delay.
