CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION
CIVIL APPEAL NO.5 OF 2016 (Arising out of SLP(C)No.34192 of 2014)
STATE OF UTTARAKHAND & ORS. ... APPELLANT(S) VS.
SUMAN PAL ... RESPONDENT(S)
J U D G M E N T
ANIL R. DAVE, J.
1. Leave granted.
2. Heard the learned counsel and perused the record.
3. Upon perusal of the record, we find that
reinstatement with 50% backwages would not be just.
Therefore, we modify the impugned judgment to the effect
that a lump-sum amount of Rs.2 lakhs (Rupees two lakhs
only) be paid to the respondent, a daily wager, as he was
not regularly appointed and he was relieved before several
years.
4. The afore-stated amount of Rs.2 lakhs shall be paid
within three months from today and the respondent shall not
have any further right.

4. The impugned order is set aside and the appeal is
disposed of as partly allowed. Pending application, if
any, stands disposed of.
