LAWS(SC)-2013-8-34
SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
Decided on August 16,2013

Assistant Engineer, Rajasthan State Agriculture Marketing Board, Sub -Division, Kota Appellant
VERSUS
MOHAN LAL Respondents

JUDGEMENT

- (1.) Leave granted.
(2.) The consequent relief to be granted to the workman whose termination is held to be illegal being in violation of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (for short, "ID Act") is the sole question for our decision in this appeal. Were it not for the argument strongly pressed by the learned counsel for the respondent that the delay in raising industrial dispute in the absence of any such objection having been raised by the employer before the Labour Court is no ground to mould the relief of reinstatement, we would not have gone into the question which is already answered in a long line of cases of this Court.
(3.) Mohan Lal, the workman, was engaged as "Mistri" on muster roll by the appellant, employer, from 01.11.1984 to 17.02.1986. On 18.02.1986, the services of the workman were terminated. While doing so, the workman was neither given one month's notice nor was he paid one month salary in lieu of that notice. He was also not paid retrenchment compensation.;
