Heard Shri Manu Saxena, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for the State-respondent and Shri V.K. Yadav, learned counsel for the respondent no.2.
2. This writ petition has been filed challenging the impugned award dated 20.12.2016 published on 30.01.2017 passed by the respondent no.1- Presiding Officer, Labour Court-I, Ghaziabad whereby the labour court awarded a sum of Rs. 2 lacs to the respondent no.2 as one time compensation in lieu of his reinstatement and backwages in the facts and circumstances of the case.
3. This Court while entertaining the writ petition passed the following order dated 24.3.2017:-
Reinstatement for daily wage workers is not automatic and must be assessed on a case-by-case basis, considering service duration and delay in raising disputes.
Termination of daily wage workers under Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act does not automatically entitle them to reinstatement; monetary compensation may be awarded instead.
The court established that non-compliance with statutory provisions regarding termination under the Industrial Disputes Act leads to invalid termination and entitlement to compensation.
Reinstatement is not automatic in cases of delayed disputes; monetary compensation may be awarded instead, especially for procedural violations under the Industrial Disputes Act.
