Deepali Gundu Surwase vs Kranti Junior Adhyapak & Ors on 12 August, 2013
11. Apex Court in Deepali Gundu Surwase v. Kranti Junior Adhyapak
Mahavidyalaya, (2013) 10 SCC 324 has laid down certain parameters while
considering the case of a delinquent employee qua back wages. The relevant
extracts of the judgment are reproduced below:
Hindustan Tin Works Pvt. Ltd vs Empkoyees Of Hindustan Tin Works Pvt. ... on 7 September, 1978
38.6. In a number of cases, the superior courts have interfered with
the award of the primary adjudicatory authority on the premise that
finalisation of litigation has taken long time ignoring that in
majority of cases the parties are not responsible for such delays.
Lack of infrastructure and manpower is the principal cause for
delay in the disposal of cases. For this the litigants cannot be
blamed or penalised. It would amount to grave injustice to an
employee or workman if he is denied back wages simply because
there is long lapse of time between the termination of his service
and finality given to the order of reinstatement. The courts should
bear in mind that in most of these cases, the employer is in an
advantageous position vis-à-vis the employee or workman. He can
avail the services of best legal brain for prolonging the agony of the
sufferer i.e. the employee or workman, who can ill-afford the luxury
of spending money on a lawyer with certain amount of fame.
Therefore, in such cases it would be prudent to adopt the course
suggested in Hindustan Tin Works (P) Ltd. v. Employees [Hindustan
Tin Works (P) Ltd. v. Employees, (1979) 2 SCC 80 : 1979 SCC
(L&S) 53] .

Agrawal [(2007) 2 SCC 433 : (2007) 1 SCC (L&S) 651] that on

service as of right is contrary to the ratio of the judgments of three-

Verma v. Central Govt. Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court,
(1980) 4 SCC 443 : 1981 SCC (L&S) 16] referred to hereinabove

against the very concept of reinstatement of an employee/
workman."
