The Supreme Court held that the termination of the Respondents' services was illegal under Section 6-N of the U.P.

The Court upheld the Labour Court's award for reinstatement and payment of dues, emphasizing the necessity of adhering to statutory provisions in employment matters. The appeal by the Municipal Corporation was dismissed, affirming the Labour Court's decision.
