Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the termination of Ranbir Singh's service without compliance with Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Labour Court had ruled in favor of the appellant, awarding reinstatement and back wages, but the High Court overturned this decision, granting only a lump sum compensation. The Supreme Court examined the legality of the High Court's interference with the Labour Court's award and the implications of non-compliance with statutory provisions regarding termination.
