Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed multiple appeals concerning the interpretation of various provisions under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, particularly focusing on Section 2(oo) regarding the definition of 'retrenchment'. The Court established that the termination of service due to the closure of a business does not constitute retrenchment under the Act, thereby clarifying the scope of employee rights during business closures. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the lower court's decisions.
