Ganga Kisan Sahkari Chini Mills Ltd vs Jaivir Singh

The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's award for reinstatement and back wages under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, emphasizing that the termination of the workmen was illegal as they were deemed permanent employees despite the employer's claims of seasonal employment. The Court clarified that the provisions of Section 6-N of the Act apply when a workman has completed 240 days of service in a calendar year, which was not adequately disproven by the employer. The appeals against the High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions were therefore rejected, affirming the Labour Court's decision.
