R.S.R.T.C. vs RAMDHARA INDOLIYA

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in affirming the lower courts' decisions regarding the respondent's termination as a daily wage Conductor, emphasizing that the Civil Court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit due to the nature of the dispute being industrial. The Court reiterated that the appropriate remedy for the workman was under the Industrial Disputes Act, not through civil proceedings. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the respondent was denied reinstatement or back wages, although any amounts already paid would not be recovered.
