Ramadhar Pal) and the subsequent order dated 9.4.2019 in R.P. 968/2018 whereby the learned Single Judge has upheld the direction of Labour Court dated 5.9.2014 allowing an application u/sec. 33C (ii) of the Industrial Disputes Act 1947 (for brevity ID Act) granting arrears arising out of 50% back wages and of salary accruing to the workman for the period from 16.5.2012 to 23.7.2014, i.e., the period when employer despite passing of the Award of reinstatement with 50% back wages, failed to reinstate the workman. 2.1 The need to adjudicate this case on merits gets obviated since this court has partly interfered with the Award of the Labour Court dated 5.9.2014 setting aside the finding and direction regarding 50% back wages without disturbing the finding and direction regarding reinstatement.

Ramadhar Pal) applicable to this case mutatis mutandis, to the following extent :- (i) The order of the Labour Court dated 5.9.2014 passed u/sec. 33C of the ID Act is interfered with and is set aside to the extent it directs for grant of 50% back wages.
