The text states that retrenchment has wide amplitude and that the substance of the employment arrangement, not the form of the appointment order, is decisive. It further states that compliance with the retrenchment compensation requirement is a condition precedent under Section 25F, so non-payment renders the termination invalid and inoperative. On the facts described, the termination was therefore treated as unlawful and reinstatement followed. en-us Fri, 16 Jan 1976 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 14:54:56 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=186598 Termination of a workman on expiry of a fixed-term temporary appointment is treated as retrenchment where the Industrial Disputes Act's express exclusions do not apply.
