Delhi Transport Corporation vs D.T.C. Mazdoor Congress on 4 September, 1990

Likewise, in the Central Inland Water Transport Corporation Limited v. Brojonath Ganguly, 1986 (2) LLJ 171 and in case of Delhi Transport Corporation Limited v. D.T.C. Mazdoor Congress, 1991 (1) LLJ 395 has observed that Regulation 9(b) of the Corporation which provided for termination of employment by giving one month's notice or pay in lieu thereof vest absolute, unbridled and arbitrary powers in the employer to terminate the service and as such was violative of the Constitutional mandate contained in Art. 14 of the Constitution. The effect of this dicta or observation of the Apex Court is that any stipulation in a contract of employment fixing the term of employment or providing for termination of service by giving a notice for certain specified period of time or payment of wages in lieu thereof will be void, arbitrary and discriminatory and also being opposed to the public policy under Section 23 of the Contract Act. Similarly, the termination of employment by non-renewal of the term of contract will not have the protection of sub-clause (bb) of Section 2(oo) of the Act.
