At the outset it must at once be pointed out that the construction put by the Full Bench of the Kerala High Court on the expression 'retrenchment ' in section 2(oo) of the that it means only the discharge of surplus labour or staff by the employer for any reason whatsoever is no more good law and in fact the decision of the Full Bench of Kerala High Court in L. Robert D 'Souza vs Executive Engineer, Southern Railway and Anr.,(1) has been specifically overruled by this Court in Santosh Gupta vs State Bank of Patiala (2) This Court has consistently held in State Bank of India vs N. Sundera Money,(3) Hindustan Steel Ltd. vs Presiding Officer, Labour Court,(4) and Delhi Cloth & General Mills Ltd. vs Shambhu Nath Mukherji,(5) that the expression 'termination of service for any reason whatsoever ' now covers every kind of termination of service except those not expressly included in section 25F or not expressly provided for by other provisions of the such as sections 25FF and 25FFF.
