The Supreme Court ruled that the Industrial Tribunal under the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 is considered a 'Court' as per Section 10 of the U.P. General Clauses Act, 1904. The Court held that the award pronounced on July 2, 1951, was valid despite the expiry of the original deadline on June 30, 1951, since both June 30 and July 1 were holidays. Therefore, the award was not invalidated by the timing of its pronouncement, affirming the Labour Appellate Tribunal's decision.
