M/S. Kec International Limited vs Shankar Lal Sharma

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the termination of the respondent's service under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically Sections 25-F and 25-G. The Court held that the approval of the subsequent dismissal under Section 33(2)(b) was not properly before the Single Judge, and thus the observations made regarding the respondent's continued service were erroneous. The Court dismissed the appellant's review applications, affirming the lower court's decision and maintaining the respondent's reinstatement.
