Uttaranchal Forest Hospital Trust vs Dinesh Kumar

The Supreme Court held that under Section 6N of the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the respondent's claim of having worked for more than 240 days was not substantiated, as the evidence indicated he was engaged on a part-time basis and not as a daily wage worker. The Court found that the Labour Court and High Court erred in granting reinstatement and back wages, as the respondent's employment was temporary and sporadic. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, overturning the lower courts' decisions.
