Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the respondent's services by Guru Jambheshwar University was illegal under Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as no proper notice or compensation was provided. The Court emphasized that the employer must adhere to the procedural requirements for retrenchment, including giving notice and paying compensation. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition and reinstating the respondent with back wages.
