PARRY & CO. LTD. vs P.C. PAL & ORS.

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of retrenchment under Section 25F(c) of the Industrial Disputes Act, ruling that the Tribunal's findings were partly beyond its jurisdiction and speculative. The Court held that the Tribunal's conclusion that the retrenchment was improper due to insufficient notice and lack of contemporaneous business development was flawed. The Court set aside the Tribunal's order, emphasizing that a writ of certiorari is appropriate when a tribunal acts beyond its jurisdiction or disregards procedural rules, not merely for erroneous decisions.
