Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the termination of an employee under the Madhya Pradesh Industrial Relations Act, 1962, specifically referencing Section 107A, which corresponds to Section 11A of the Industrial Disputes Act. The Court held that the Labour Court's decision to set aside the termination was unjustified, as the charges against the employee were proven, and the punishment was deemed appropriate given the circumstances. Consequently, the Court upheld the Industrial Court's ruling that reinstatement was not warranted, affirming the termination of the employee's services.
