DABUR (DR. S. K. BURMAN) PRIVATE LTD. DEOGHAR, BIHAR vs THE WORKMEN

The Supreme Court held that the alteration of the reference from the Labour Court, Patna to the Labour Court, Ranchi was merely a clerical correction under Section 10(1) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court established that such corrections do not constitute a withdrawal or cancellation of the original reference, thus affirming the jurisdiction of the Labour Court, Ranchi. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the Labour Court's decision to proceed with the case.
