Municipal Council, Samrala vs Sukhwinder Kaur

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the respondent's services by the municipal council was not in violation of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as her appointment was temporary and subject to termination without notice under Section 2(oo)(bb) of the Act. The Court affirmed the Labour Court's finding that the termination was not a retrenchment as defined in the Act, thus upholding the dismissal of the writ petition filed by the appellant. The outcome confirmed the legality of the termination based on the contractual terms accepted by the respondent.
