    Case Summary: 44/2025 Court Decision: The Labour Court dismissed the petitioner Shaileshbhai Randhodbhai Kotadiya's reference against the irrigation department's officials for illegal termination. The court ruled against the petitioner on key grounds, finding insufficient evidence of continuous employment meeting the required 240-day threshold under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Key Reasoning: The court held that the petitioner failed to prove continuous service with proper documentary evidence (muster rolls, appointment letters, wage records). While acknowledging the petitioner's oral testimony of 8+ years of employment as a daily laborer, the court determined this alone was insufficient to discharge the burden of proof required in industrial disputes cases, particularly regarding the 240-day continuity requirement for establishing protected employment status. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
