In which of the following cases did the Supreme Court reiterate the well-settled legal position that even a temporary worker can claim retrenchment compensation if he satisfies the qualifying conditions of continuous service for retrenchment compensation (now governed by Section 70 of the Industrial Relations Code, 2020)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
In Management of Willcox Buckwell India Ltd. v. Jagannath, (1974) 4 SCC 850, the Supreme Court held that there is no distinction in principle between a temporary worker and a permanent worker regarding the statutory protection of retrenchment compensation once the qualifying continuous service requirement is satisfied (formerly Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, now Section 70 of the Industrial Relations Code, 2020). Barsi Light Railway Co. Ltd. v. K.N. Joglekar (1957) held that discharge on genuine closure of business was not retrenchment, and Tatanagar Foundry Co. v. Their Workmen dealt with lay-off and mala fides.
