2.      In case of an Industrial Tribunal’s Award directing reinstatement in service with 40% back wages, a workman is entitled to 40% back wages from the date of termination till the date of Award, and 100% wages from the date of Award till the date of actual reinstatement in service.

 

3.      To invoke the writ jurisdiction of High Court, it must be proved that the Court below has exceeded or usurped its jurisdiction, or acted illegally, or in contravention to any law, or there is an error on the face of record.
