Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant's services by Haryana Roadways was illegal under Section 10(1)(c) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as the Labour Court had previously ruled in favor of reinstatement. The Court emphasized the importance of following due process under Article 311(2)(b) of the Constitution of India, which protects government employees from arbitrary dismissal. The appeal was allowed, affirming the Labour Court's award for reinstatement with back wages.
