Lal Singh Ram Singh Rajput vs The Asstt. Executive Engineer

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant from the post of watchman violated Section 25(F) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as the management failed to follow due process. The Court affirmed the Labour Court's order for reinstatement and continuity of service, while clarifying that the management's second writ appeal was not maintainable since the first appeal challenging the reinstatement had already been dismissed. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's order granting continuity of service but denied backwages, reinforcing the principle that a party cannot challenge a decision that has become final.
