Gouri Sankar Chatterjee & Ors vs Texmaco Limited & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Division Bench's decision to set aside the Industrial Tribunal's award regarding the regularization of 'Budli' workers under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court found that the Tribunal had erred by enlarging the scope of the Reference without notifying the management, which could have presented relevant material. The Court directed the Tribunal to reconsider the matter afresh in accordance with law, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case.
