HC Sides With Retrenched Leather Corp Staff After 26 Years

Imagine some people who used to work at a leather company in Punjab got laid off.

The company closed down, and the government had a special plan in 1992 to help the workers.

But later, the government changed the plan.

Some of the workers who were laid off weren't getting the help they were supposed to.

These workers went to court, and the case went on for 26 years.

Finally, the court said the government had to give those workers the same help as the other workers from the 1992 plan, even though the rules changed later.

The court said that because the workers were supposed to get help from the 1992 plan, the government couldn't take that away.
