Judgment text excerpt
The appellants, representing retired workmen of ITC Ltd., challenged a Patna High Court judgment upholding an Industrial Tribunal award. The Supreme Court addressed the admissibility of a Special Leave Petition filed with a significant delay of 460 days, attributed to a paucity of funds. Despite the casual nature of the delay explanation, the Court proceeded to consider the merits due to the grievances of the retired employees.
