[Civil Appeal No. 1403 of 2016 @ Special Leave Petition (C) No. 5241 of 2013]. The appellant was terminated from the services of the first respondent on 31.10.1991. The Labour Court, Kanpur, set aside the termination of the appellant by its award published on 04.10.1997. In the meanwhile, the appellant had already attained the age of superannuation on 01.07.1997. The award on reinstatement was not challenged by the respondent - Management. The only ground taken before the High Court was their liability to pay backwages. The High Court, taking note of the fact that by the time, the award was published, the appellant - workman had already attained the age of superannuation, set aside the award and allowed the writ petition. Feeling aggrieved by the order passed by the High Court, the appellant has filed the present petition by special leave before this Court.
