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 had correctly determined that the respondents did not have continuous service for 240 days as required under Section 25F of the Act, and that the High Court's interference was unwarranted. Consequently, the Supreme Court restored the Labour Court's decision, affirming the legality of the termination.
