Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the respondent's services violated Section 25-G of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which mandates that in case of retrenchment, the principle of 'last come, first go' must be followed. The Court found that the Labour Court correctly determined that the respondent had worked for more than the stipulated days and that the management's action constituted an unfair labour practice. The appeal by the appellant was dismissed, upholding the Labour Court's decision.
