SHIV KUMAR vs STATE OF HARYANA .

The Supreme Court addressed the retrenchment of workmen under Section 25-N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, holding that the management must provide proof of service of notice to the affected workmen as mandated by Rule 76-A of the Industrial Rules, 1957. The Court found that the management's failure to demonstrate adequate proof of service invalidated the permission granted for retrenchment. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, emphasizing the necessity of compliance with procedural requirements in retrenchment cases.
