Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the respondent was entitled to re-employment under Section 25(H) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, after being terminated in 1985. The Court found that the High Court's order for reinstatement with back wages was justified, as the respondent had been wrongfully terminated and had a valid claim for re-employment. The appeal by the appellant-Cooperative Marketing Society was allowed, and the orders of the High Court were set aside, reinstating the Labour Court's decision.
