Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Industrial Tribunal's decision that the appellant company must provide a cash allowance for tiffin arrangements, establishing that such provision was an implied condition of service despite no statutory obligation under the Factories Act. The Court also affirmed the Tribunal's limited direction to discontinue the re-employment of retired clerks above C grade, finding it neither improper nor unjustified. The ruling emphasizes the importance of implied conditions of service in labor relations.
