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 the referral of disputes regarding standing orders to Labour Courts. The Court found that the apprehension of the workman regarding potential victimization by the management was not purely imaginary and warranted interpretation of the standing orders. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling without costs.
