District Red Cross Society vs Babita Arora & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the termination of Babita Arora's services by the District Red Cross Society violated Sections 25F, 25G, and 25H of the Industrial Disputes Act, as the management failed to follow the prescribed procedure for retrenchment and did not pay retrenchment compensation. The Court emphasized that the closure of the Maternity Hospital was not a valid reason for termination since other operations were still ongoing, and the principle of 'first come last go' was not adhered to. The Court ordered her reinstatement with continuity of service and full back wages.
