This civil appeal was filed by Viveka Nand Sethi, the workman, against the Chairman of Jammu & Kashmir Bank Ltd., challenging the termination of his services under Clause 2 of ... the Bipartite Settlement dated 8.9.1983. The High Court upheld the decision of the Central Government Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, which ruled that the workman should be reinstated with past service benefits but without back wages. The Bank filed a counter-appeal challenging the award and argued that the termination complied with the terms of the Bipartite Settlement and the principles of natural justice.
