The Supreme Court addressed 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 post a Labour Court order. The Court held that the refusal to permit the workers to join duty constituted an unfair labour practice and was illegal, as no termination or charge sheet had been issued against them. The Court ruled in favor of the workers, directing the appellant to allow them to resume work and pay their wages for the intervening period.
