Suresh Vs. M.C.D. and ors.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Feb-17-2004

Reported in: 112(2004)DLT596; 2005(1)SLJ296(Delhi)

ORDERMadan B. Lokur, J. 1. The only issue raised in this case by learned Counsel for the petitioner is that even though reinstatement has been ordered by the impugned Award dated 3rd January, 2000, back wages have not been awarded by the learned Labour Court.2. The reason for not awarding back wages is mentioned in para 11 of Award which reads as follows:'As an upshot of the above discussion, it follows that action of the management is unsustainable, workman is entitled to reinstatement. However, as regards back wages, it may be observed that workman had done no better than merely alleging that he is unemployed since terminated. He has disclosed as to what efforts he made to find alternative employment. It is difficult to believe that he sat idle throughout litigation. He had a duty to mitigate loss as per 1981(1) LJJ 385 SC. In 1994(2) LLN 925, Bombay High Court held that when workman has no regard for truth, 12 months' wages are sufficient. Similarly, in 1998(2) LLN Allahabad High Co...

Decided on: Feb-16-2004

Reported in: (2004)(94)ECC431

1. In this appeal which has been filed by the appellants against the impugned Order-in-Appeal, the issue relates to the refund of the duty amount to them for the period prior to 14.6.99.2. The learned Consultant has contended that since the duty was paid under protest the refund claim could not be held to be time barred especially when the refund to the appellants on redetermination of the duty liability under the compounded levy scheme after excluding the galleries, has not been disputed. Therefore, the impugned order deserves to be set aside. On the other hand, the learned JDR has reiterated the correctness of the impugned order.3. I have heard both the sides and gone through the record. The perusal of the record shows that the duty liability of the appellants were determined by the Commissioner vide order dated 16.4.99 as Rs. 8,03,635 per stenter machine.
