Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the termination of the appellant's employment as a driver by the DAV Public School, affirming that the procedure followed by the Managing Committee was in accordance with Sections 25F(a) and (b) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court found that the appellant was declared surplus due to the disposal of old vehicles and the inability to purchase new ones, thus justifying the retrenchment. The dismissal of the Writ Petition by the High Court was confirmed, maintaining the legality of the termination order.
