Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the termination of two commission agents by the United Bank of India, emphasizing the need for justifiable grounds for termination under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court held that the High Court correctly found that the termination orders lacked specific reasons and did not substantiate any misconduct, thus allowing the writ appeal. The Court reaffirmed that the employer must provide adequate evidence to justify termination, aligning with the principles established in earlier judgments regarding the rights of workmen under industrial law.
