M/S. U.P.S.R.T.C. vs IMTIAZ HUSSAIN

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the Allahabad High Court's order granting 50% back wages to the respondent under Section 6(6) of the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court held that the labour court exceeded its jurisdiction by modifying the original award, which was not permissible under Section 6(6) as it only allows for correction of clerical or arithmetical mistakes. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, reaffirming the limits of the labour court's powers under the U.P. Act.
