Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Section 34 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, regarding the authority to file complaints for unfair labor practices under Section 25-U. The Court held that only the appropriate Government can file such complaints, either directly or through an authorized representative, and that a private individual cannot be authorized to file a complaint under this provision. The Court set aside the High Court's ruling that allowed a private individual to file the complaint, thereby reinforcing the statutory interpretation of Section 34.
