Bata India Limited Case Resolved: First Labour Court Dismisses Long-Pending Industrial Dispute
Bata India Limited has confirmed the resolution of a long-pending industrial dispute regarding illegal termination, as the First Labour Court, West Bengal at Kolkata, passed an order for dismissal of the case. The final order details the settlement terms involving the payment of compensation to workmen.The litigation initially arose from an industrial dispute raised by certain workmen, which had been referred for adjudication to the Industrial Tribunal in 2010. The Tribunal had earlier passed an Award, which was subsequently challenged by Bata India Limited before the Hon'ble Calcutta High Court.
The legal proceedings saw a significant development when the Hon'ble High Court passed an order. This order directed the payment of a one-time compensation of Rs. 1.5 lakh per workman. This payment was structured as a full and final settlement, replacing the claims for reinstatement and back wages.
Following the company's compliance with the High Court's directive, the First Labour Court, West Bengal at Kolkata, subsequently issued an order dismissing the case entirely.
The settlement reached in the proceedings involved an aggregate amount of Rs. 55.50 Lakhs paid by the company. This payment represented the total amount paid in full and final settlement, thereby concluding the long-running matter.
