Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court, which had allowed a Writ Petition challenging the retrenchment of workmen under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the workmen, despite being labeled as casual and temporary, had substantial service and were entitled to protection under the Act. The Court ruled that the termination notices issued by the State of Maharashtra were invalid, thereby affirming the rights of the workmen to continue their employment.
