DISTRICT RED CROSS SOCIETY vs BABITA ARORA .

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 provide compensation. The Court emphasized that the closure of the maternity hospital was not a valid reason for termination, given that other operational projects existed where the employee could have been absorbed. The Court ordered her reinstatement with continuity of service and back wages, overturning the High Court's dismissal of her writ petitions.
