Ram Gopal Dwivedi vs M/S Kanpur Electricity Supply Co.Ltd. ...

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the Labour Court's awards regarding the termination of the appellants, which were found to be illegal. The Court referenced the precedent set in U.P. State Electricity Board vs. Shiv Mohan Singh & Anr., (2004) 8 SCC 402, establishing that the appellants, as trade apprentices, were not entitled to the protections of labour laws as claimed. The Court affirmed the legality of the terminations, ruling against the appellants' reinstatement and back wages.
