Working For 240 days, Workmen Should Prove And Not Employer; Rajasthan HC Upholds Workman's Termination
The Rajasthan High Court ruled that workmen claiming to have worked for 240 days must prove the duration of their employment in order to challenge termination. In this case, a workman contested the termination from his employer, claiming that he had worked for more than 240 days. The Court upheld the employer’s decision to terminate the workman, as the workman failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove continuous employment. This decision highlights the burden of proof on the employee to demonstrate their eligibility for relief under labor laws when challenging dismissal or termination.
