Case History
Case Summary: Management of M/s Essee Courier v. Sushil Sharma Outcome: Supreme Court disposed of the appeals on January 14, 2003, modifying the Labour Court's award. While upholding that the respondent's retrenchment was illegal and without proper procedure under Section 25(f) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1957, the Court reduced back wages from full amount to 50% for the entire period of unemployment, considering the appellant's size (15 employees) and lack of evidence that respondent remained unemployed. Key Issue: The appellant challenged Delhi High Court judgments upholding a Labour Court award directing reinstatement and full back wages for a courier terminated in 1991. The appellant's late-raised contention that respondent was employed by a different company (SAICO) was rejected as never previously pleaded.
