RAM GOPAL DWIVEDI vs M/S KANPUR ELECTRICITY SUPPLY CO.LTD. THROUGH ITS GENERAL MANAGER

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the Labour Court's awards regarding the termination of the appellants, stating that the case was governed by the precedent in U.P. State Electricity Board vs. Shiv Mohan Singh & Anr., (2004) 8 SCC 402. The Court found that the appellants, who were trade apprentices, were not entitled to the protections of labour laws as claimed, and thus their termination was deemed legal and proper. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
