The Supreme Court held that the High Court has the power to issue writs under Article 226 against arbitrators under Section 10A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court clarified that the expansive powers of the High Court can affect any person, including private individuals, and can be invoked even when other remedies exist. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the part of the arbitrators' award that directed compensation to the employers, emphasizing that the arbitrators' award must be amenable to judicial review due to its statutory basis.
