JUDGMENT

R.M. Lodha, J. Leave granted.

2. The only question to be considered in this appeal by special leave is with regard to the relief of reinstatement granted to the respondent by the Single Judge of the High Court of Karnataka in his judgment and order dated August 13, 2001 and affirmed by the Division Bench vide its judgment and order dated December 9, 2004 in the writ appeal. Should an order of reinstatement automatically follow in a case where the engagement of a daily wager has been brought to end in violation of Section 25 F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (for short `ID Act')? The course of decisions of this Court in recent years has been uniform on the above question. In the case of Jagbir Singh v. Haryana State Agriculture Marketing Board and Anr.1, delivering the judgment of this Court, one of us (R.M. Lodha, J.) noticed some of the recent decisions of this Court - namely, U.P. State Brassware Corporation Ltd. & Anr. v. Uday Narain Pandey2; Uttranchal Forest Development Corporation vs. M.C. Joshi3 ; State of M.P. & Ors. v. Lalit Kumar Verma4; Madhya Pradesh Admn v. Tribhuban5; Sita Ram & Ors. v. Motil Lal Nehru Farmers Training Institute6; Jaipur Development Autho
