JudgementView PDF
Summary The Industrial Court, Maharashtra found that Tata Mills committed unfair labour practice under Item 9 of Schedule IV of the MRTU & PULP Act, 1971 by illegally retiring employee Vijay Madhusudan Gawde at age 60 without documentary evidence of inefficiency. The court held that Standing Order Clause 20-A mandatorily requires male operatives to be retained until age 63 if efficient, and since the respondents failed to prove inefficiency through any memo, medical report, or charge sheet, the employee is entitled to continue working until age 63.
