The appellant challenged the Labour Court's award regarding his employment as a land-loser's son-in-law in the Kaiga Atomic Power Project. The Writ Court erred in ignoring evidence of the appellant's marriage and disregarding the Labour Court's factual findings without compelling reasons. The Supreme Court held that the appellant is entitled to relief per the Labour Court's award with consequential service benefits. However, backwages from when the Single Judge set aside the award till reinstatement are disallowed. The appellant must be reinstated within four weeks, and the gap period considered for other service benefits. The appeal is allowed.
