[Civil Appeal No. 5701 of 2015 arising out of S.L.P. (C) No. 26629/2014]. This appeal arises out of the order passed by the High Court of Bombay in Writ Petition No.3646 of 2001 dated 19.06.2014, in and by which, the High Court enhanced the retrenchment compensation of Rs.6,049/- awarded by the Labour Court to Rs. 1,00,000/- without any interest. A charge-sheet dated 07.05.1988 was issued to the appellant for committing the misconduct of slapping his colleague, Mr. Kunjumon who was working with the respondent-company. An enquiry was conducted against the appellant and the services of the appellant were terminated on 07.05.1990. The appellant challenged his termination and a reference was made to the Labour Court, Pune. By the award dated 28.02.2000, Labour Court held that the enquiry against the appellant was fair and proper and the misconduct was proved. However, the Labour Court held that the punishment of dismissal from service was shockingly disproportionate and awarded retrenchment compensation of Rs.6,049/- to the appellant.
