The Supreme Court held that the Punjab and Haryana High Court erred in overturning the Labour Court's award for reinstatement of the appellant without establishing any jurisdictional error or violation of natural justice, as mandated by Section 10(1)(c) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the appellant's termination did not comply with Section 25-N of the Act, which requires adherence to procedural safeguards during retrenchment. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the appellant, affirming the Labour Court's decision.
