U.P.STATE BRASSWARE CORPN. LTD. vs UDAI NARAIN PANDEY

The Supreme Court ruled that the termination of a workman under Section 6-N of the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which is equivalent to Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, was illegal as the workman had worked for more than 240 days in the preceding year. The Court held that the workman was entitled to reinstatement and back wages, emphasizing that the employer's failure to comply with statutory provisions warranted such relief. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the Labour Court's decision to reinstate the workman and award back wages.
