Krishan Singh vs Exec.Engineer, Har.State Agr.Mktg ...

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant's services was in violation of Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as the mandatory pre-conditions for retrenchment were not met. The Court found that the Labour Court's Award for reinstatement with 50% back wages was justified, and the High Court's decision to set aside this Award was incorrect. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the Labour Court's Award, emphasizing the importance of adhering to statutory provisions in employment termination cases.
