Vijayanand Surajwali Jaiswar vs Tata Mills Advocate - M V Bhat — 276/2025

Summary The Maharashtra Industrial Court held that Tata Mills committed unfair labour practice under Item 9 of Schedule IV of the MRTU & PULP Act, 1971 by retiring employee Vijayanand Jaiswar at age 60 without proving inefficiency, in violation of Clause 20-A of the Standing Orders which mandates continuation till age 63 if the employee remains efficient. The court found the respondents failed to produce any documentary evidence of declining efficiency and directed them to withdraw the retirement memo and continue the complainant's employment until he attains 63 years of age.
