#Section 25-F

The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that reinstatement is not an automatic remedy for illegally terminated daily wage workers, especially after a prolonged delay. Citing Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited vs. Bhurumal, the Court awarded ₹3 lakh in monetary compensation, emphasizing that reinstatement should not be granted as a matter of course in such cases.

Karnataka High Court rules that retrenchment under the Industrial Disputes Act without strict compliance with Section 25-F is void ab initio, entitling the workman to reinstatement. The Court awarded 50% backwages, balancing pandemic hardship and employer's partial good faith, setting a precedent for procedural fairness in employment terminations.
