JudegementView PDF

Case Summary: Reference (T) No. 26/2025 Court Decision: The Labour Court rejected the employer's reference challenging reinstatement of a daily-wage worker. The worker, Ghelabhai Jodhabhai Gamara, was found to have been illegally terminated without proper notice, compensation, or severance under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Key Reasoning: The court determined the worker completed continuous service exceeding 240 days (required threshold for permanent status under Indian labour law) from 2007 to May 2013 at the irrigation department. The employer failed to follow mandatory termination procedures—no written notice, no severance pay, no backdated compensation. Since procedural requirements under Section 25(F) were breached, the termination was deemed unlawful and the worker's reinstatement with continuity of service was upheld.
