Jagbir Singh vs Haryana State Agr.Marketing Board & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant's services by the Haryana State Agriculture Marketing Board violated Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as he was not provided with notice, pay in lieu of notice, or retrenchment compensation. However, the Court noted a shift in jurisprudence, stating that reinstatement with back wages is not automatic and may be inappropriate in certain circumstances. The High Court's decision to set aside the Labour Court's award for reinstatement was upheld, emphasizing that compensation may be a more suitable remedy than reinstatement in this case.
