The court established that compensation for wrongful termination must reflect the workman's service duration and adhere to the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act.
Reinstatement of daily wage workers is not automatic upon illegal termination; monetary compensation may be awarded instead, particularly when procedural violations occur.
Reinstatement is not automatic in cases of delayed disputes; monetary compensation may be awarded instead, especially for procedural violations under the Industrial Disputes Act.
Reinstatement of a daily wage worker is not automatic upon illegal termination; monetary compensation may be awarded instead, particularly considering the worker's age and service duration.
Compensation, rather than reinstatement, is appropriate for daily wage workers whose termination is found illegal due to procedural defects, especially when no mala fide intent is established.
