ASSTT.ENGR. RAJASTHAN S.A.M.BOARD,KOTA vs MOHAN LAL

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the workman, Mohan Lal, was in violation of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as he was not given notice or retrenchment compensation. The Court affirmed the Labour Court's decision to reinstate the workman with continuity of service and 30% back wages, rejecting the employer's argument regarding the delay in raising the dispute. The Division Bench of the High Court's restoration of the Labour Court's award was upheld, emphasizing that non-compliance with statutory provisions warrants reinstatement.
