Can it be applicable "No work no pay" to the employee to whom the employer has terminated illegally & reinstatement order has been given to the employer by the high court? Can we demand back wages from the termination date to the reinstatement to the court after doing the contempt of court by the employer?

Hi,
If the termination is illegal and a reinstatement notice has been obtained by the court, then you have to pay according to the court order. The court itself will provide a clause regarding the same in the order. Hope this is clear.
"No Work, No Pay" is applicable only if it is proven in court that the termination is legal.
Thanks,

Hi,
To explain further what Amit has mentioned:
At the first place, the applicant has to make a prayer in the petition to the trial/higher court about treating the period between the date of termination and the date of reinstatement as "On duty." Hence, the same needs to be paid as on the regular rolls.
If there is no such prayer, the high court or any court on its own usually won't grant this relief (except a few disputes where it has been given).
Also, if in the order the court has mentioned clearly as "Reinstatement with back wages," then the employer is obligated to pay the back wages. Otherwise, it amounts to contempt. (The employer may prefer an appeal against the same in the supreme court, but that is a different scene).
If the order of the court just says reinstatement (without any reference to back wages), then your employer can apply the principle of no work, no pay. Then you may have to make another application for the claim of back wages before the court.
