                     Presiding Officer, Additional Labour Court, Madras and Another

                                        Civil Appeal No. 18 (NL) of 1983

                                        (V.D. Tulzapurkar, V.B. Eradi JJ)

                                                      03.01.1983

                                                        ORDER

1. Leave granted.

2. After hearing counsel we are satisfied that it will be futile in this case to retain the order of
reinstatement of respondent 2 since it is agreed that his superannuation date is January 31, 1983. We
accordingly modify the award by deleting the portion of the award in regard to such reinstatement.
Respondent 2 will be paid all the back wages and other benefits which he is entitled to in law up to
the said date of retirement and the same will be worked out by the Principal Labour Court, Madras
before whom C.P. No. 126 of 1980 is pending. The amount of Rs 94,000 which has been deposited
in this Court will be permitted to be withdraws by respondent 2 on account and be credited towards
the satisfaction of the aforesaid dues.
