Raja Ram Maize Products vs Industrial Court Of M.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the applications under Section 31(3) read with Sections 34 and 61 of the Madhya Pradesh Industrial Relations Act, 1960, concerning the refusal of the appellant to allow workers to resume their duties. The Court held that the refusal constituted an unfair labor practice and was in contravention of the Act, as the workers had not been formally terminated nor charged. The Court emphasized that the limitation period for filing such applications does not bar the workers' claims, leading to the conclusion that the appellant's actions were illegal and unjustified.
