STATE OF U.P. vs BRIJPAL SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Labour Court under Section 33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which ordered the State of U.P. to pay the respondent salary and bonus amounting to Rs. 1,55,821 for the period from 1987 to 1992. The Court found that the Labour Court had jurisdiction to decide the matter despite the pending writ petition, as the interim order of the High Court had effectively allowed the respondent to claim his dues. The appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the Labour Court's order and the respondent's entitlement to payment.
