GAMON INDIA LIMITED vs NIRANJAN DASS

The Supreme Court upheld the Industrial Tribunal's award, confirming that the respondent's retrenchment was illegal as it did not comply with the prerequisites of Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court clarified that the termination was not due to closure as defined under Section 2(oo) and constituted retrenchment, entitling the respondent to back wages and terminal benefits. The appeal by the company was dismissed, affirming the respondent's right to reinstatement and compensation.
