  • Monetary compensation is an equitable substitute for reinstatement of short-term daily-wage workers

    Rajasthan High Court
    Satya Narain v. The Judge, Central Industrial Tribunal, Kota & Anr.
    S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 14013 of 2011
    Date of Judgment: 06.01.2026
    Neutral Citation: 2026:RJ-JP:191

    Ratio:
    Reinstatement is not automatic for illegal retrenchment of daily-wage workers; monetary compensation may be granted instead.

    INDUSTRIAL DISPUTE – Illegal retrenchment – Daily-wage workman – Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 – Reinstatement vs. monetary compensation – Scope of interference under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India –
    Writ petition filed by the workman challenging the award of the Labour Court, Kota, holding termination to be in violation of Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, but granting lump-sum compensation in lieu of reinstatement. Held, violation of Section 25F renders retrenchment illegal; however, reinstatement is not an automatic consequence, particularly in the case of daily-wage employees engaged for a short duration without regular selection process. Considering the limited tenure of service, absence of mala fides, and long lapse of time since termination, monetary compensation was held to be a just and equitable substitute for reinstatement. Award modified by enhancing compensation. Writ petition disposed of.
