Case Note & Summary
The case involved an appeal by the Ayodhya Faizabad Development Authority against the decision of the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, which had affirmed an award by the Labour Court granting 25% of back wages to the respondent, Brij Raj Maurya. The Supreme Court, upon reviewing the circumstances of the case, decided not to interfere with the High Court's order but modified it by stating that the 25% back wages would not be paid to the respondent. The court concluded that the facts did not support the payment of back wages as previously determined. Consequently, the appeals were disposed of without any order as to costs.
