Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of an employee's service under the Standing Orders introduced after the employee's appointment is valid, provided the employee accepted those terms. The Court found that the provisions of para 3A of the Standing Orders, which set a maximum age limit and service duration, were binding on the appellant and did not violate Sections 9A, 25J, and 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Labour Court's decision that the termination was justified.
