Employers, Management Of Central P & D ... vs Union Of India & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the Industrial Tribunal's finding that Miss Aleyamma Samuel had worked for 240 days, thus her discharge was illegal under Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court confirmed the reinstatement order but noted that reinstatement is not always mandatory and could be substituted with compensation. The appeal was dismissed as the work-person was not represented, and the Court found no grounds to overturn the factual findings of the lower courts.
