M/S SRIRAM INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRIESES LTD. vs MAHAK SINGH .

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of retrenchment under Section 6N of the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, emphasizing that workmen who have worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year cannot be retrenched without due process. The Court upheld the Tribunal's finding that the respondents were wrongfully retrenched as they had worked continuously and were entitled to reinstatement and back wages. The judgment reinforced the principle that employers must adhere to statutory provisions when terminating employment.
