D.G.M.,Oil & Natural Gas Corpn. Ltd. & ... vs Ilias Abdulrehman

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of termination of a workman under the Industrial Disputes Act, specifically Section 25F, which mandates compliance for termination after 240 days of continuous service. The Court held that the workman, Ilias Abdul Rehman, did not qualify for protection under Section 25F as his employment was intermittent across different units, which could not be aggregated to meet the continuous service requirement. The Court overturned the High Court's decision that reinstated the workman, affirming the Industrial Court's ruling that the termination was lawful and did not constitute unfair labor practice.
