Panacea Biotec Limited Files Final Appeal Against Industrial Tribunal Awards
Panacea Biotec Limited has officially filed an appeal before the Hon'ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh, regarding a fourth award issued by the Industrial Tribunal in S.A.S Nagar, Mohali. This legal action follows previous appeals filed by the company against three other awards received from the same tribunal.The judicial proceedings stem from four awards originally received on April 9, 2026. In these awards, the Presiding Officer of the Industrial Tribunal issued several directives affecting the company's workforce and financial obligations dating back to 2014. These include:
- Setting aside the transfer of 23 workmen and granting full back wages from the date of transfer.
- Granting reasonable wage revisions for workers.
- Ordering the reinstatement of workers (excluding those who settled disputes) with 50% back wages from the date of termination.
The company has engaged in a structured legal strategy to contest these rulings. On July 16, 2026, it moved to file the appeal against the final remaining award.
