Case History
The Supreme Court allowed the appeals of casual telecom workers terminated in 1986-87, holding they were unlawfully retrenched and entitled to reinstatement with continuity of service. Though the employer claimed project-end exemption under Section 2(oo)(bb) of the Industrial Disputes Act, the Court found insufficient proof of formal contract terms and ruled the termination constituted retrenchment requiring Section 25F compliance, limiting compensation to three months' wages due to project closure circumstances.
