The High Court further upheld the lower court’s decision to reinstate the workman as the employer terminated the services of the said workman [who was in service for more than 240 (two hundred and forty) days in a period of 12 (twelve) calendar months] without complying the pre-conditions for retrenchment as provided under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
