A labour court in Gurgaon has ordered Maruti Suzuki India to pay INR100,000 (US$1,593) for each of 425 workers dismissed following violence at its Manesar plant in July 2012.
The company is required to deposit INR42.5m with the court. The order said each worker would receive INR85,000 compensation with the remaining INR15,000 going towards court costs.

Maruti Suzuki Kamgar Union president Kuldeep Jhangu said: “The compensation is fine but the sacked employees need a job. Therefore, the company should reinstate them,” ETAuto.com reported citing The Times of India.
“We will consider further course of action based on our understanding of the court’s order,” a Maruti Suzuki spokesperson said.
