MANAGEMENT OF TAMILNADU STATE TRANS CORP vs P.RANGARAJ — C.A. No. 7868/2014

Case Summary: C.A. No. 007868/2014 Outcome: The Supreme Court set aside the Labour Court's order directing regularisation of services for retrenched workers, while upholding the reinstatement order. The Court held that a Labour Court cannot order service regularisation when adjudicating a retrenchment reference under Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as regularisation was never a disputed issue before it. Key Finding: Merely completing 240 days of continuous service does not entitle an employee to regularisation; reinstatement following an illegal retrenchment only restores the employee's prior status.
