Santosh Gupta vs State Bank Of Patiala on 29 April, 1980
CHINNAPPA REDDY, J.-The facts of the four appeals
before us (except the cases of Usha Kumari and Madhu Bala,
two out of the seven appellants in Civil Appeal No. 633 of
1980) are almost identical with the facts in Santosh Gupta
v. State Bank of Patiala decided by this Court on April 29,
1980. Not unnaturally the appellants claim that they should
be given the same reliefs as were given to the workman in
that case, but which have been denied to them by the Labour
Court in the instant cases. The Labour Court found, as a
fact, that except in the cases of three workmen, S. C.
Goyal, Usha Kumari and Madhu Bala, the termination of the
services of the remaining appellants-workmen was in
violation of the provisions of S. 25F of the Industrial
Disputes Act, 1947 and therefore invalid and inoperative.
But, as the termination of their services was a consequence
of their failure to pass the tests prescribed for permanent
absorption into the service of the Bank and as it was
thought their reinstatement would have the effect of
equating them with workmen who had qualified for permanent
absorption by passing the test, the Labour Court refused to
give the workmen the relief of reinstatement in service with
full back wages, but, instead, directed payment of
compensation of six months' salary to each of the workmen,
in addition to the retrenchment compensation.

Sur Enamel And Stampingworks (P) Ltd vs Their Workmen on 7 May, 1963
The cases of Usha Kumari and Madhu Bala were treated by
the Labour Court as distinct from the cases of all the other
appellants
796
on the ground that, though they had worked for more than two
hundred and forty days in the preceding twelve months, they
had not been in employment for one year. It appears that
Usha Kumari and Madhu Bala were in the employment of the
Bank from May 4, 1974 to January 29, 1975 and had worked for
258 and 266 days respectively during that period. As the
period from May 4, 1974 to January 29, 1975 was not one
year, it was conceded before the Labour Court that there was
no violation of the provisions of S. 25F of the Industrial
Disputes Act. Before us, the concession was questioned and
it was argued that there was non-compliance with the
requirements of s. 25F of the Act. Since the facts were not
disputed, we entertained the argument and heard the counsel
on the question. The concession was apparently based on the
decision of this Court in Sur Enamel and Stamping Works (P)
Ltd. v. Their Workmen. That decision was rendered before S.
25B, which defines continuous service for the purposes of
Chapter VA of the Industrial Disputes Act was recast by Act
36 of 1954. The learned counsel for the employer submitted
that the amendment made no substantial difference. Let us
take a look at the statutory provisions. S. 25-F, then and
now, provides that no workman employed in any industry who
has been in continuous service for not less than one year
under an employer shall be retrenched by that employer until
certain conditions are fulfilled. S. 25-B's marginal title
is 'Definition of continuous Service'. To the extent that it
is relevant S. 25-B(2) as it now reads is as follows:

Mis. Swadesamltran Limited, Madras vs Their Workmen on 31 March, 1960
In M/s. Swadesamitran Limited, Madras v. Their Workmen
dealing with an argument that even if the impugned
retrenchment was justified, reinstatement should not have
been ordered, Gajendragadkar, Subba Rao and Das Gupta JJ
