BHAVANAGAR MUN.CORP. vs SALIMBHAI UMARBHAI MANSURI

The Supreme Court addressed whether the termination of the respondent's services constituted retrenchment under Section 2(oo) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1948. The Court upheld the Labour Court's finding that the Corporation violated Sections 25G and 25H of the ID Act by not reinstating the respondent, emphasizing that the termination did not fall under the exceptions provided in Section 2(oo). Consequently, the appeal by the Corporation was dismissed, affirming the reinstatement order with continuity of service and benefits.
