Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the Respondent's services as a trainee was justified under Section 6N of the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, as the training scheme had ended and the Respondent was compensated accordingly. The Court emphasized that the Respondent did not qualify for regularization and was not considered a 'workman' under the Act due to his trainee status. The Court upheld the Labour Court's decision, affirming that the termination was neither unjustified nor illegal.
