GHAZIABAD DEVELOPMEMT AUTHORITY vs ASHOK KUMAR

The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's decision that the disengagement of the respondent, who had worked for more than 240 days, violated Section 6-N of the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which mandates compliance for retrenchment. The Court clarified that the appellant's argument regarding the periodical nature of employment did not exempt them from the statutory requirements. Consequently, the Court affirmed the Labour Court's order for reinstatement with full back wages, dismissing the appellant's writ petition.
