Devinder Singh vs Municipal Council,Sanaur

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant's service violated Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as it was done without notice or compensation. The Court found that the Labour Court's award for reinstatement was justified, despite the High Court's ruling that reinstatement was contrary to recruitment rules and public interest. The Court emphasized that the appellant had worked for more than 240 days prior to termination, thus entitling him to protection under the Act. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, reinstating the Labour Court's decision.
