GAURI SHANKER vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's decision that the retrenchment of Gauri Shankar from the Forest Department was improper, violating Sections 25F(a), 25F(b), 25G, and 25H of the Industrial Disputes Act. The Court emphasized that the workman had been employed for more than 240 days in a year and was entitled to reinstatement. The appeal against the High Court's refusal to interfere with the Labour Court's award was dismissed, affirming the Labour Court's order for reinstatement.
