H.S.A.M.BOARD vs PAWAN KUMAR — C.A. No. 2779/2006

Summary of C.A. No. 002779/2006: H.S.A.M. Board v. Pawan Kumar The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the Industrial Tribunal and High Court orders confirming the retrenchment award. The core issue involved a mistaken identity: the Tribunal had ruled based on "Pawan Kumar son of Rattan Singh" working 240+ days (August 1992–August 1993), but the Board contended the actual respondent worked only ~147 days (December 1992–May 1993), and that two other workers named Pawan Kumar existed. The Court found the identity conflict required fresh examination and remanded the matter to the Tribunal for a new decision after allowing both parties to present evidence establishing the correct worker's identity, joining date, and retrenchment date. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
