Case Note & Summary
The case involved a writ petition filed by a Technical Supervisor challenging his retrenchment from the Haryana State Small Industries & Export Corporation Ltd. The petitioner contended that the retrenchment was due to the closure of the Corporation, a claim disputed by the respondents who asserted that only one unit was closed. The court found no evidence to support the claim of the Corporation's closure and noted that the petitioner admitted to the closure of only one unit. Furthermore, the court highlighted the lack of a rehabilitation policy that would entitle the petitioner to any benefits post-retrenchment. The court also acknowledged that the petitioner had passed away, rendering the petition infructuous. Consequently, the court dismissed the writ petition on these grounds.
