Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled on the applicability of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, particularly Sections 2(oo) and 25F, in determining the legality of retrenchment of employees. The Court established that retrenchment must follow due process, including providing notice and compensation, and that failure to comply renders the retrenchment invalid. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision that the retrenchment was unlawful due to non-compliance with statutory requirements.
