MAKHAN SINGH vs NARAINPURA CO-OPERATIVE AGRICULTURALSERVICE SOCIETY LTD. &

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant's service under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, was unjustified as it was done without a domestic enquiry, violating principles of natural justice. The Court found that the Labour Court's reliance on photostat copies of documents without originals was baseless, and the claim of the appellant's absence due to illness was not adequately considered. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the appellant with full back wages, subject to deductions for any salary earned from other employment during the termination period.
