DIST.RURAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY, RAJASTHAN vs SUKHMINDER SINGH — C.A. No. 5147/2001

Summary of C.A. No. 005147/2001 The Supreme Court dismissed the District Rural Development Agency's appeal against the High Court's judgment upholding Sukhminder Singh's reinstatement. Singh, a daily-wage Junior Engineer terminated in 1992 without notice or severance, challenged the termination before the Labour Court, which found violation of Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act and ordered reinstatement with 60% back wages from October 1992. The High Court Single Judge and Division Bench upheld this award, rejecting the Agency's contentions that IDA provisions didn't apply to scheme-based employment. The Supreme Court declined to interfere. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
