Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of the retrenchment of casual workers by the Food Corporation of India, which was found to be void due to non-compliance with procedural requirements such as notice and compensation. The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision that the retrenchment was unjustified and illegal, emphasizing the importance of following due process even for casual workers. The judgment reinforces the protection of workers' rights under industrial law and the necessity of adhering to statutory procedures in retrenchment cases.
