State Of M.P. & Ors vs Arjunlal Rajak

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the respondent's services without compliance with Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 was unlawful, as he had worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and was entitled to retrenchment compensation. The Court upheld the Labour Court's award for reinstatement with full back wages, emphasizing that no proper procedure was followed in terminating his employment. The appeal by the appellants was dismissed, affirming the Labour Court's findings and the High Court's decision.
