P.K. Das vs The Presiding Officer, Labour Court And ...

The Supreme Court held that the earlier order of the Division Bench, which deemed removal from service as too harsh under Section 11A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, must be upheld. The Court found that the learned Single Judge's order suggesting removal was not sustainable as it contradicted the Division Bench's ruling. The matter was remanded to the Labour Court to determine appropriate punishment short of removal and to assess back wages, with a directive for resolution within four months.
