State Of Uttar Pradesh & Anr vs Brijpal Singh

The Supreme Court held that the Labour Court has jurisdiction under Section 33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 to adjudicate claims for payment of salary and bonuses, even when a writ petition is pending in the High Court. The Court emphasized that the interim order of the High Court stayed the termination of the respondent's services, thereby entitling him to claim salary for the period of non-payment. The appeal by the State of U.P. was dismissed, affirming the Labour Court's order for payment of Rs. 1,55,821/- to the respondent.
