Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that under Section 33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, only those Labour Courts specified by the State Government have jurisdiction to compute the monetary value of benefits claimed by workmen. The Second Labour Court of West Bengal was not designated for this purpose, thus lacking jurisdiction. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the workmen's applications were not maintainable in the Second Labour Court.
