JudegementView PDF

Case Summary: 59/2024 Court Decision: The Labour Court rejected the reference filed by Vasabh Gordhanbhai Bhanderi (the petitioner/claimant worker) against the respondent irrigation department authority. Key Reasoning: The court found that the worker failed to establish continuous, uninterrupted employment meeting the 240-day threshold required under the Industrial Disputes Act. Specifically, the worker could not produce sufficient documentary evidence (such as muster rolls, appointment letters, or wage registers) to prove continuous service, and the employer's failure to produce records was not deemed grounds for drawing adverse inference without explicit suppression claims. The court upheld the employer's position that the worker was a casual laborer without proper statutory protections for termination.
