Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's award under Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which found the termination of Bhagirath Singh illegal due to lack of inquiry and failure to pay retrenchment compensation as mandated by Section 25(F) of the ID Act. The Court affirmed that Singh was entitled to reinstatement and full back wages, emphasizing the necessity of adherence to procedural safeguards in employment termination. The appeals against the High Court's dismissal of the Civil Misc. Application were dismissed, affirming the Labour Court's findings.
