Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the reinstatement of the respondent under the Industrial Disputes Act, specifically citing Sections 25F, 25G, and 25H, which mandate compliance with procedural requirements before termination. The Court found that the Labour Court correctly inferred from the non-production of muster rolls and salary registers that the respondent had worked for more than 240 days, thus making the termination illegal. The appeal by the appellant was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
