Dipti Prakash Banerjee vs Satvendra Nath Bose National Centre For ... on 10 February, 1999
(9)The facts of the case are not in dispute. It is the case of the petitioner that
his termination was illegal since no enquiry was conducted before
terminating his services. Even the Labour Court found that the
termination was illegal and in violation of principles of natural justice
since no disciplinary proceedings were conducted. The Labour Court
relied on the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Dipti
Prakash Banerjee Vs. Satvendra Nath Bose National Centre for Basic
Science at Calcutta, reported in AIR 1999 SC 983 : 1999 [3] SCC 60, in
support of its findings on illegal termination. The Labour Court, having
held that the termination was illegal, denied back wages to the petitioner
on the ground that the petitioner failed to plead and prove by filing an
affidavit or by adducing oral evidence that he was not gainfully employed
pursuant to the illegal termination.

When it was held that the termination of services was
neither proper nor justified, it would not only show that
the workmen were always willing to serve but if they
rendered service they would legitimately be entitled to
the wages for the same. If the workmen were always
ready to work but they were kept away therefrom on
account of an invalid act of the employer, there is no
justification for not awarding them full back wages

case and in view of the aforesaid judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court,
I find merit in the writ petition.
