STATE OF U.P vs CHARAN SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the Industrial Tribunal's Award, which found the termination of Charan Singh's services as a Tube-well Operator illegal under Section 6-N of the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the mandatory provisions of the Act were not followed, leading to the conclusion that reinstatement was warranted, although back wages were not granted. The appeal by the State of U.P. was dismissed, confirming the respondent's right to reinstatement.
