D.G.M., OIL & NATURAL GAS CORPN. LTD&ANR vs ILIAS ABDULREHMAN

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of termination of a workman under Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, determining that the workman, Ilias Abdul Rehman, did not meet the criteria for continuous employment as he worked in different units that could not be considered a single department. The Court upheld the Industrial Court's decision that the workman was not entitled to relief as his employment did not violate the provisions of Section 25F. The Court reversed the High Court's ruling that had reinstated the workman, emphasizing the need for compliance with statutory requirements for continuous service.
