G.M. HARYANA ROADWAYS vs JAI BHAGWAN

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the first respondent's services as a driver was illegal under Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as the mandatory requirements for termination were not met. The Labour Court's order for reinstatement with full back wages was upheld, emphasizing that the first respondent had worked for more than 240 days in the preceding 12 months and that junior employees were retained in violation of Section 25G. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the Labour Court's decision and the regularization of the first respondent's services.
