SITA RAM vs MOTI LAL NEHRU FARMERS TRAINING INST.,UP

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. The Labour Court's finding that the appellants had worked for more than 240 days was upheld, as the respondent failed to produce relevant records, leading to an adverse inference. The High Court's reversal of the Labour Court's award was deemed erroneous, and the appellants were reinstated with 25% back wages.
