Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the respondent's services by the appellant Corporation violated Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as the mandatory requirements were not met. However, considering the long delay of 12 years in raising the dispute and the temporary nature of the respondent's employment, the Court found reinstatement unjust. Instead, the Court directed the appellant to pay Rs. 50,000 to the respondent as compensation, emphasizing the need to consider all relevant circumstances in such cases.
