Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 6(6) of the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, a Labour Court can correct an accidental omission in its award even after it has become final and enforceable. The Court found that the Labour Court had omitted to specify the effective date for the fitment of workmen, which was a necessary part of its decision. The amendment to the award, which set the effective date as November 1, 1960, was upheld as valid, affirming the Labour Court's jurisdiction to correct such omissions post-publication.
