Cement Corporation Of India Ltd. vs Presiding Officer, Industrial ...

The Supreme Court held that the respondent, Bhim Sain Prabhakar, who was appointed afresh after the closure of Dalmia Dadri Cement Limited, could not claim fitment in Grade V based on prior service due to his retrenchment. The Court emphasized that the fresh appointment constituted a new employment relationship, thus denying any claim for increments based on previous employment under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically Sections 25F and 25H. The Labour Court's order granting additional increments was quashed, affirming the appellant's position.
