Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the Labour Court's findings regarding the termination of daily wage employees under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the Labour Court's conclusion that the respondents had not completed 240 days of continuous service prior to termination was based on proper evidence and should not have been disturbed. The Court reiterated that interference by higher courts in factual findings should be limited to instances of perversity or misapplication of legal principles, thus upholding the Labour Court's decision.
