SUB DIV.OFFICERS TELEGRAPH,BIJNOR vs P.O.,C.G.I.TCUM-LABOUR COURT

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of a writ petition by the Allahabad High Court on the grounds of laches was erroneous, as the petition was not belated given the intervening circumstances and the factual background. The Court emphasized that the High Court failed to consider relevant details regarding the timeline of events, particularly the Tribunal's award under Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which mandated compliance for termination of service. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, allowing the writ petition to proceed.
