Case Summary: C.A. No. 5464/2000 Ranjit Kumar Samanta v. U.B. Engineering Ltd. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal on April 2, 2003, reversing the Division Bench's decision and restoring the Labour Court's award. A Junior Fitter injured in a workplace accident on September 9, 1990, was terminated on June 14, 1991, after claiming workers' compensation. The Labour Court found the termination illegal, violating Sections 25-F and 25-N of the Industrial Disputes Act, and awarded reinstatement with full back wages. The High Court's Single Judge confirmed this, but the Division Bench wrongly reversed it. The Supreme Court held the Division Bench's reasoning unsupported by evidence, noting junior workers were retained and 100+ employees remained on payroll. The Court modified the award, directing 50% of back wages from the award date considering the company's financial condition.
