Court: Chennai

Decided on: Apr-09-2003

Reported in: (2003)IIILLJ160Mad

R. Jayasimha Babu, J.1. The charge against the respondent workman found by the Labour Court to have been proved is that on 18.07.1987 around 2.00 a.m. the workman had, along with a Durwan, gone to the stockyard of the employer, had demanded entry, and on being refused by two other Durwans who were on duty, had abused and threatened them. The Labour Court held that the penalty of dismissal which the employer had imposed by the order dated 02.01.1988 was disproportionate to the proved misconduct. Exercising it's powers under Section 11-A of the Industrial Disputes Act, the Labour Court by it's order dated 30.03.1993 reduced the penalty to loss of increment for one year without cumulative effect, and directed reinstatement with back wages and continuity of service. That order of the Labour Court has been sustained by the learned single Judge. The back wages, however, has been reduced to Rs. 25,000/-. The workman is not aggrieved by the reduction in the quantum of back-wages. 2. The domest...
