Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of employer-employee relationship under the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically referencing Section 2-A and Section 6-N. The Court upheld the Labour Court's finding that the respondents had worked for more than 240 days and that their termination was unlawful as it did not comply with the provisions of Section 6-N. Consequently, the Court held that Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) was the principal employer and liable for the wrongful termination of the respondents' services.
