Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that sub-section (4) of section 6 of the Act is unconstitutional as it allows the State Government to remit an award without limitations, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that quasi-judicial decisions should not be subject to arbitrary review by executive authorities. The appeal was allowed, and the Court ruled that the Labour Court's findings in favor of the appellant regarding workman status and termination validity should stand, as the State's action lacked proper justification and notice.
