Part-time employee cannot be thrown out without complying with law

A part-time employee would be covered within the definition of “workman” in Section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and he would be entitled to the benefit of continuous service under section 25B and the benefit of Section 25F. As such, the Supreme Court has held that a part-time employee cannot be retrenched without following the procedure and paying the compensation.
