Manager, R.B.I., Bangalore vs S. Mani & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Industrial Tribunal which found that the termination of the Ticca Mazdoors was illegal as it violated Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, due to their completion of 240 days of service without proper retrenchment procedures. The Court affirmed the Tribunal's order for reinstatement with back wages, while allowing the Appellant to conduct a domestic inquiry regarding alleged misconduct related to forged certificates. The Court clarified that the Respondents' non-regularization was due to the stigma attached to their actions, but their termination was not justified under the law.
