Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the respondent's services was illegal as it did not comply with the U.P. Krishi Utpadan Mandi (Amendment and Validation) Act, 1970 and the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act. The Court criticized both the Labour Court and the High Court for failing to provide reasoned judgments, particularly regarding the modification of back wages. The Supreme Court restored the Labour Court's award for full back wages and reinstatement, emphasizing the need for adherence to procedural requirements in employment termination cases.
