J.K. SYNTHETICS vs RAJASTHAN TRADE UNION KENDRA

The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's decision regarding the legality of the lay-off and retrenchment of workers under Section 25-N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court found that the lay-off was justified due to power cuts and operational losses, and that the retrenchment complied with the provisions of the Act despite the unconstitutionality of Section 25-N. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling in favor of the employer.
