J. D. JAIN vs THE MANAGEMENT OF STATE BANK OF INDIA & ANR.

The Supreme Court held that under Article 226 of the Constitution, the High Court cannot interfere with the Industrial Tribunal's award unless there is a jurisdictional error. The Court emphasized that the Tribunal, exercising powers under Section 11A of the Industrial Disputes Act, correctly found the evidence against the appellant to be hearsay due to the non-examination of the depositor. Consequently, the High Court's decision to quash the Tribunal's award was held to be erroneous, and the appellant was entitled to reinstatement with full back wages.
