LAL SINGH RAM SINGH RAJPUT vs THE ASST. 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, which mandates compliance with certain procedural safeguards before termination. The Court affirmed the Labour Court's order for reinstatement and continuity of service, while denying backwages. The Court emphasized that the management's failure to disclose prior dismissals of writ petitions undermined their subsequent appeals, leading to the finality of the Labour Court's award.
