Ramesh Kumar vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant's service as a Mali without compliance with Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, was unlawful, as he had established continuous service for more than 240 days. The Court emphasized that the absence of a show cause notice or inquiry prior to termination violated principles of natural justice. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and upheld the Labour Court's award for reinstatement with back-wages.
