U.P. State Road Transport Corporation vs Babu Ram

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a writ petition challenging the termination of a temporary employee under the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the delay in raising the dispute was significant, and noted that there is no universal time limit for the government to exercise its powers under Section 10 of the Act, but it must be done reasonably. The Court found that the reference made after a prolonged period was inappropriate, as no industrial dispute existed at that time, thus affirming the High Court's decision.
