Summary of Case 46/2025 The court rejected the petitioner's industrial dispute reference. Kishorbhai Nagajibhai Chabhadiya, a daily wage laborer employed by the Irrigation Department (Respondents) since 2001, was terminated on 01/01/2012 without notice, termination letter, or severance pay. The petitioner claimed illegal termination under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, asserting continuous service with 240+ working days annually and demanding reinstatement with back wages. The court found the petitioner failed to substantiate continuous employment through credible documentary evidence, holding that mere affidavits without supporting records (muster rolls, appointment letters, wage registers) are insufficient under settled legal principles. The reference was dismissed for lack of proof meeting statutory requirements for continuous service status. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
