Bhuvnesh Kumar Dwivedi vs M/S Hindalco Industries Ltd

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court which set aside the Labour Court's award directing the employer to pay ₹1,00,000 as damages to the workman. The Court found that the employer violated Section 6N of the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 by failing to provide retrenchment compensation or notice prior to termination. The Court emphasized that the workman had been continuously employed for over six years, thus establishing his entitlement to statutory protections under the Act.
