Section Text
(1) Where the application under sub-section (6) of section 53
relating to an industrial dispute involving discharge or dismissal or otherwise termination of a worker
has been made to a Tribunal or has been referred to a National Industrial Tribunal for adjudication, and,
in the course of adjudication proceedings, the Tribunal or National Industrial Tribunal, as the case may
be, is satisfied that the order of discharge or dismissal or otherwise termination was not justified, it may,
by its award, set aside the order of discharge or dismissal or termination and direct reinstatement of the
worker on such terms and conditions, if any, as it thinks fit, or give such other relief to the worker
including the award of any lesser punishment in lieu of discharge or dismissal or otherwise termination,
as the circumstances of the case may require.
(2) A Tribunal or National Industrial Tribunal, as the case may be, may, in the interest of justice,
grant such interim relief to the worker referred to in sub-section (1) during the pendency of the industrial
dispute as the circumstances of the case may require: Provided that in any proceeding under this subsection the Tribunal or National Industrial Tribunal, as the case may be, shall rely only on the materials
on record and shall not take any fresh evidence in relation to the matter.
