Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled that a writ of certiorari cannot be issued to quash a decision made by the Labour Commissioner under Section 51 of the Madras Shops and Establishments Act, 1947, solely on the basis of alleged errors in the decision. The Court emphasized that the Labour Commissioner holds exclusive jurisdiction to determine matters under this section, and his decisions are final and not subject to judicial review. Consequently, the High Court's order to issue a writ was set aside, affirming the finality of the Labour Commissioner's decisions.
