Terminated 16 years ago, 7 Bata salespersons get relief from Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court has awarded compensation to seven former salesmen of Bata, who were terminated in 2007 for not following a modified roster. The compensation amounts range from over ₹19 lakh to ₹33 lakh. The court ruled that the termination was without any enquiry and that Bata had not provided any evidence of misconduct. While the court was reluctant to reinstate the salesmen due to the long gap since their removal, it awarded them 75 percent of their back wages for the last 16 years.
