Bhavnagar Mun.Corp.Etc vs Jadeja Govubha Chhanubha & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the Labour Court that the respondent had worked as a Conductor from October 3, 1987, to March 31, 1989, and that his termination was illegal under Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to set aside the Labour Court's award of 65% back wages due to lack of justification and evidence regarding the respondent's employment status during the intervening period. The appeal by the appellant-Corporation was dismissed, reinforcing the Labour Court's conclusions as valid and supported by evidence.
