Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the termination of Sohan Lal's service as a driver by Haryana Roadways, citing Section 10(1) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court found that the appellant was medically unfit to continue in his role, and the employer had made attempts to find alternative employment, which were unsuccessful. The Court affirmed the Labour Court's decision, noting that the appellant received all retiral benefits and additional compensation as per the precedent set in Anand Bihari & Ors. Vs. Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation, Jaipur & Anr. [AIR 1991 Supreme Court 1003].
