casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Lokmat Newspapers Pvt Ltd v. Shankarprasad (C.A. No. 003826/1999) The Supreme Court dismissed the newspaper management's appeal, upholding that the employee's discharge constituted unfair labour practice due to undue haste in passing the termination order during pending conciliation proceedings. However, the Court modified the back-wages award from full wages to one-third of back-wages with consequential benefits, considering the employee's refusal of alternative employment and the prolonged litigation.
