Summary of Case 35/2021: A. Natarajan v. Motherson Automotive The Labour Court rejected nine petitioners' claims for reinstatement after termination, instead awarding each Rs. 75,000 compensation. The court found the employer failed to prove "unsatisfactory performance" claims (no appraisal forms produced) but upheld termination during probation as legally valid under certified standing orders, despite the workers' strike notice preceding layoffs by just 15 days. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
