Mohan is working as a sales executive at ABC Sales Pvt Ltd. He has been with the company for 5 years and is on a 6 months' notice period. However, the company fires him before his notice period gets over, stating that they found him guilty of misconduct. Mohan claims that he was not given a fair chance to defend himself and that the company's actions are a clear case of wrongful dismissal. Mohan has been drawing his last salary as per the company policy, but since his termination, the company has not paid him his remaining dues. What legal remedy does Mohan have against the company for his unpaid wages?

Maine padhha hai ye kuchh cases jahan koi company ne employee ko wrongfully terminated karke 2 saal tak wages dekhne se rok diya tha. Lekin, Supreme Court ne kaha hai ki employee ki payment shuru ho jani chahiye kai din ke baad hi, aur company ko 20-25% ke interest bhi dena hoga. Isse lagta hai ki judge ne employee ka haq jaanbujhaya hai, lekin company ko bhi zaroorataa hai.
