Judgment text excerpt
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 noted that the Labour Court's finding of illegality in the termination was valid, but emphasized that the delay of 15 years in raising the dispute was a significant factor. The Court referenced Section 10 of the Act, stating that disputes must not be stale and should be addressed in a timely manner, ultimately affirming the High Court's decision to dismiss the appeal.
