Hindustan Tin Works Pvt. Ltd vs Empkoyees Of Hindustan Tin Works Pvt. ... on 7 September, 1978
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 Private Limited v.
Employees of Hindustan Tin Works Private Limited (supra).
