The Manager(Factory) Maharashtra ... vs Suresh S/O Dadarao Gadge

The Supreme Court held that the respondent's appointment as a peon on a daily wage basis was irregular and that he was not entitled to reinstatement due to the closure of the Parbhani unit where he worked. The Court set aside the High Court's judgment affirming the Labour Court's award for reinstatement and instead awarded the respondent Rs. 2 lakhs as compensation for his termination without retrenchment compensation. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's decision was overturned.
