Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by Uttar Pradesh Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited against the dismissal of their writ petition by the Uttarakhand High Court. The case involved the termination of an employee, Balbir Singh, which was deemed illegal by the Labour Court, leading to an order for reinstatement and back wages. The Supreme Court emphasized the need for the High Court to consider the merits of the case rather than dismissing it without examination.
