Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of retrenchment of daily wage employees under Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, holding that proper procedure must be followed for lawful termination. The Court emphasized that notice and opportunity to contest termination are essential prerequisites under the Act. The retrenchment notices issued to the appellants were deemed valid as they complied with the statutory requirements, leading to the dismissal of the writ petitions challenging the termination.
