Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, which found that the termination of Rudhan Singh's service was illegal under Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as he had completed 240 days of service without receiving notice or compensation. The Court affirmed the Tribunal's order for reinstatement with continuity of service and 50% back wages, emphasizing that the appellant's claim of fixed-term employment was not substantiated. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the protection of workers' rights under the Act.
