Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's award directing the reinstatement of the respondent-workman under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically citing Section 25-F regarding retrenchment. The Court found that the appellant-management failed to comply with statutory requirements for termination, as no notice was served nor compensation paid, rendering the termination arbitrary and illegal. Consequently, the Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's appeal, reinforcing the Labour Court's decision for reinstatement and back-wages.
