In which of the following cases, the Supreme Court struck down a clause in service agreement whereby service of a permanent employee could be terminated by giving 3 months notice as unreasonable and opposed to public policy?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Central Inland Water Transport Corporation v Brojo Nath Ganguly (1986) invalidated the oppressive termination provision concerning permanent employees, addressing public policy under Contract Act section 23 and article 14. Its reasoning concerned the parties’ unequal bargaining position and the employment setting; it does not invalidate every three-month notice clause in every commercial contract.
