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's services was illegal as they were deemed permanent employees despite the employer's claim of seasonal employment. The Court clarified that the provisions of Section 6-N of the Act applied, as the workmen had completed the requisite service period. The appeals against the High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions were dismissed, affirming the Labour Court's decision.
