Analysis and Conclusion
Non-monetary relief options primarily include reinstatement, setting aside wrongful termination or resignation, specific performance, and quashing wrongful proceedings.

Timeliness in exercising employee options is crucial, and failure to adhere to prescribed timelines can lead to forfeiture of benefits, limiting non-monetary relief. Overall, courts aim to uphold fairness, procedural justice, and statutory compliance, with non-monetary remedies serving as effective tools to address violations beyond monetary compensation.
