Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the award of the Central Industrial Tribunal, which directed the reinstatement of the respondent driver with full backwages, finding that his termination violated Sections 25A, 25G, and 25H of the Industrial Disputes Act. The Court noted that the bank failed to produce evidence supporting its claim that the respondent was not an employee, and the payment vouchers submitted by the respondent established his employment. The Court affirmed the Tribunal's conclusion that the termination was unlawful and ordered compliance with the award.
