Supreme Court Judgement which can help millions of workers in India
At present labour laws are in mess.
If he is wrongly terminated, he has to fight for years without income. He suffers. His family suffers. His children suffers.
After 10 or more years, when he succeed, he is reinstated, sometimes with no back wages, sometimes with 20% back wages.
The law is now laid down that worker should get 100% full back wages for all those years he suffered, unless employer, proves that he was gainfully employed somewhere.
