STATE OF HARYANA vs MADAN LAL

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the labour court, which found that the termination of the workman’s services was invalid as it violated Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The court noted that the workman had worked for more than 240 days and that the management failed to produce the original duty roster, leading to an adverse inference. The court affirmed the labour court's order for reinstatement with continuity of service and 50% back wages, dismissing the management's appeal.
