The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's decision under Section 2A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which ordered the reinstatement of the first respondent, a driver, who was wrongfully terminated without compliance with Section 25F and Section 25G. The Court found that the appellant failed to prove abandonment of service and noted that the first respondent had worked for over 240 days in the preceding year. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Labour Court's award for reinstatement with full back wages and continuity of service.
