The High Court rejected contentions of collusion and non-service of personal notice to workmen, emphasizing that representatives were duly heard by the authority.Compliance with Notice Requirements: The main issue was whether workmen were served with copies of the application as mandated by Section 25-N and Rule 76-A. Management claimed to have sent notices to workmen with proof of service, but the Supreme Court found discrepancies in the provided proof and the application itself, indicating non-compliance.Judgment and Compensation: The Supreme Court found the retrenchment permission not in accordance with the law due to lack of proper notice. Instead of reinstatement, the Court ordered a compensation of Rs. 10,000 to each of the retrenched workmen, in addition to retrenchment compensation as per Section 25-F(b) of the Act, to be paid within two months from the judgment date.Conclusion: The appeal was allowed, and the compensation order was made for the retrenched workmen due to non-compliance with notice requirements, emphasizing the importance of following statutory procedures in cases of retrenchment under the Industrial Disputes Act.
