Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Labour Court lacks jurisdiction to adjudicate issues under Section 33(C)(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as such proceedings are akin to execution proceedings focused on calculating monetary dues to workmen. The Court emphasized that matters involving reemployment or significant industrial disputes should be addressed by an Industrial Tribunal under Section 10 of the Act, not the Labour Court. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
