H.U.D.A vs Jagmal Singh

The Supreme Court held that for a workman to claim reinstatement and benefits under Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, he must prove that he has worked for a minimum of 240 days in a year. The Court found that the respondent had not completed the statutory requirement of 240 days of service, as established by the evidence presented. Consequently, the Court set aside the Labour Court's award and the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition, ruling in favor of the appellant.
