Case Note & Summary

The appeal arose from a judgment of the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad dated 18.07.2006 in Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 2588 of 1998, which upheld and modified an Award of the Industrial Tribunal passed on 24.02.1997 in Adjudication Case No. 139 of 1992. The respondent was appointed as a temporary Tube-well Operator with effect from 06.03.1974 by the Assistant Director of Fisheries Department, Meerut (U.P). His services were terminated by a letter dated 22.08.1975, stating that he was a temporary employee. The termination led to the industrial dispute adjudicated by the Tribunal. The High Court modified the Tribunal's Award, and the State of U.P preferred the present civil appeal before the Supreme Court.
