The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's finding that the respondent had completed more than 240 days of service as required under Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, making his termination unlawful. However, the Court modified the Labour Court's order of reinstatement, opting instead to award the respondent compensation of Rs. 1 lakh, to be paid within four weeks. The appeal was disposed of accordingly, affirming the need for compliance with statutory provisions regarding termination.
