As per case facts, the Petitioner, a sugar factory, challenged the Industrial Court's order which directed reinstatement of Respondents. The Petitioner contended that appointments of Respondents by an outgoing Board
...were irregular, politically motivated, lacked proper authority as per Standing Orders, were based on an interpolated register entry, and were subsequently stayed by government authorities. The Industrial Court, however, reinstated the Respondents. The question arose whether reinstatement was justified when the very appointment was doubtful, allegedly fabricated, lacked competent authority, and was stayed by binding administrative directions, and if Respondents failed to prove actual employment or continuous service. Finally, the High Court found that the Industrial Court failed to adequately analyze the evidence, incorrectly assumed employment, and disregarded the binding government orders. The High Court restored the Labour Court's dismissal of the complaints, ruling that Respondents failed to establish a lawful appointment and continuous service, thereby dismissing their claims.
