B.S. Bharti vs I.B.P. Company Limited

The Supreme Court held that the appellant's termination from employment was not maintainable in a civil suit due to the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, which prohibits civil suits for matters that can be addressed under industrial law. The Court emphasized that the appellant failed to pursue remedies available under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, and did not challenge the government's refusal to refer the dispute to an Industrial Tribunal. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the Trial Court's decree, affirming that the appellant's claims were not justiciable in civil court.
