Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the interpretation of the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, specifically Section 13-A, which allows for disputes regarding standing orders to be referred to Labour Courts. The Court affirmed that the apprehension of the workman regarding potential victimization by the management warranted interpretation of the standing orders, despite the absence of an ongoing dispute. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the interpretation sought was valid under the Act.
