The Supreme Court held that under Section 6N of the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the termination of services of daily wagers requires compliance with specific procedural safeguards, including proof of employment for more than 240 days. The Court found that the Labour Court's inference against the respondent for failing to produce relevant records was justified, and reinstatement of the appellants with back wages was warranted. The High Court's reversal of the Labour Court's award was set aside, reaffirming the need for the employer to substantiate claims regarding the nature of employment.
