Haryana State Coop Supply Mkt Fed.Ltd vs Sanjay

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court affirming the Industrial Tribunal's award for reinstatement of the respondent-workman under Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court clarified that the workman could not club his service periods from two different units of HAFED for the purpose of establishing continuous service of 240 days, as they are separate establishments. The Court held that the termination was illegal due to non-compliance with the mandatory provisions of Section 25-F, leading to the order for reinstatement with 50% back wages.
