GLOBE GROUND INDIA EMPLOYEES UNION vs LUFTHANSA GERMAN AIRLINES

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the closure of operations by Globe Ground India Private Ltd. and the retrenchment of 106 workers, determining that the actions violated Sections 25-F, 25-G, 25-O, and 25-N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court held that the management's closure was unjustified as it did not cease operations in India and directed the reinstatement of the affected workers with continuity of service and full wages. The judgment emphasized the protection of workers' rights under the Industrial Disputes Act, reinforcing the principle that retrenchment must adhere to statutory requirements.
