Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's decision that the termination of the respondent's services was contrary to Section 6(N) of the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as the respondent had established his claim of continuous service for 240 days within a calendar year. The Court clarified that the definition of 'continuous service' under Section 2(g) of the U.P. Act was applicable, and the Labour Court's finding of insufficient continuous service was erroneous. The Court directed reinstatement with continuity of service and 50% back wages from the date of termination.
