Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that Section 33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 allows workmen to claim monetary benefits even if their right to such benefits is disputed by the employer. The Court clarified that the Labour Court has the authority to interpret awards or settlements related to the claims. However, the respondents' claim for special allowance as adding machine operators was not upheld, as they did not qualify as comptists under the Sastry Award. The appeal by the Bank was dismissed, affirming the Labour Court's decision.
