NATIONAL THERMAL POWER CORPN. vs JAWAHAR LAL

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Labour Court under Section 6N of the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which found the termination of Jawahar Lal's services to be void due to non-compliance with statutory requirements for retrenchment. The Court emphasized that the employer failed to provide adequate evidence of notice-pay and alternative employment being offered, and that Jawahar Lal had completed over 240 days of continuous service. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the reinstatement order with full back wages.
