    Summary The Industrial Court at Rajkot rejected a casual laborer's claim against BSNL (formerly Telecom Department) for illegal termination of services dated January 21, 2000. While the tribunal found the applicant was a workman entitled to protection under the Industrial Disputes Act and had completed continuous service of 240+ days, it held that the employer complied with mandatory retrenchment procedures under Section 25-F by providing written notice, one month's notice pay, and retrenchment compensation. The applicant failed to prove violations of Sections 25-G and 25-H or produce evidence of juniors being retained, and the tribunal found he suppressed material facts regarding prior CAT and High Court proceedings, rendering him disentitled to relief.
