Ramesh Kumar vs Engineer-In-Chief, Irrigation ...

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in modifying the Labour Court's award regarding the workman's claim without addressing the merits of the dispute over the completion of 240 days of service as required under Section 25B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the High Court must consider the factual merits before altering the Labour Court's decision. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the case for a thorough examination of the merits.
