REGIONAL MANAGER, SBI vs MAHATMA MISHRA

The Supreme Court addressed the termination of the respondent's temporary employment under Section 25-H of the Industrial Disputes Act, ruling that the management's action was illegal due to lack of written notice and unfair labor practices. The Court upheld the Labour Court's decision to reinstate the respondent with full back wages, emphasizing that the nature of the employment was not casual and that the respondent could have acquired permanent status had he not been terminated. The judgment clarified the application of Section 25-H, reinforcing the rights of temporary employees in similar situations.
