Harwindra Kumar vs Chief Engineer, Karmik & Ors on 18 November, 2005
4. The counsel for the petitioners has placed reliance upon the decision
of the Supreme Court reported in (2005) 13 SCC 300 parties being Harwindra
Kumar Vs. Chief Engineer, Karmik and others saying that if the order of
superannuation is found illegal and is set aside, the petitioners are entitled to
get 100% back wages. However, the facts of said case is altogether different
from the case in hand and, therefore, the same is not applicable. In the said
case, the Supreme Court has considered the interim order granted by the Court
whereby the employees were allowed to continue in service, therefore, they
become entitled to get salary, Supreme Court restrained the Government to
make any recovery whereas in the present case, the reference has been made to
the Labour Court and the Labour Court decided the case, framed issue
regarding back wages and appreciating the material fact available granted
50% of back wages, therefore, interference in such finding is not proper.
