Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the provisions of Section 25(F), (G), and (H) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 were violated in the termination of the workman Bhagwan Das, who claimed to have worked for more than 240 days prior to his termination. The Court affirmed the Labour Court's finding that the employer failed to produce muster rolls, which supported the workman's claim. Consequently, the Court upheld the Labour Court's order for reinstatement and payment of 30% back wages, emphasizing the employer's burden to prove the contrary.
