Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court improperly interfered with the Labour Court's award under Article 226 of the Constitution, emphasizing that such jurisdiction should be exercised with caution and not as an appellate review of Tribunal decisions. The Court reaffirmed that the Labour Court was competent to determine jurisdictional facts, and the High Court's analysis of what constitutes an industrial dispute was unnecessary. The Labour Court's finding that the termination of Sadhu Ram's service was illegal and unjustified was upheld, and the appeal was allowed.
