SHUKLA MANSETA INDUSTRIES PVT. LTD. vs THE WORKMEN EMPLOYED UNDER IT

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 19(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, affirming that a settlement remains binding until two months after a written notice of termination is given. The Court held that advance notice of intention to terminate a settlement is permissible, provided it does not affect the contractual period. The appeal by the employers was dismissed, confirming the Tribunal's decision that the notice given by workers was valid and the reference to the Industrial Tribunal was competent.
