M/S. P.V.K.DISTILLERY LTD vs MAHENDRA RAM

The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's decision that Mahendra Ram was unjustifiably terminated from his employment, affirming the findings under Section 25B(2)(a) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which established his continuous service of over 240 days. The Court found that the employer failed to prove the absence of a master-servant relationship and did not comply with the procedural requirements of Section 6-N of the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act. Consequently, the Court dismissed the appeal and upheld the order for reinstatement with full employment benefits and back wages.
