Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order directing the appellants to take back employees for four months was unsustainable as it failed to interpret the judgment of this Court dated January 29, 2001 correctly. The Court emphasized that the retrenchment process must comply with Section 25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, and that the High Court should have resolved the matter based on its own interpretation rather than deferring to the Supreme Court for clarification. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside.
