Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Gujarat High Court's decision affirming the maintainability of applications under Section 33-C (2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, for recovery of overtime allowances by workmen. The Court clarified that the scope of Section 33-C (2) allows for claims related to entitlements arising from employment, and previous judgments supported the respondents' claims. The Court dismissed the appeals, reinforcing the legality of the Labour Court's findings and the High Court's ruling.
