HARYANA LAND RECLAMATION & DEV.CORP.LTD. vs NIRMAL KUMAR

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a writ petition challenging the Labour Court's order regarding the retrenchment of a workman under Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court noted that the retrenchment violated Rule 77 of the Rajasthan Industrial Rules, 1958, and that the appellant's claim of embezzlement was unsubstantiated. The Court emphasized that while delay in raising a dispute does not have a universal time limit, it must be assessed based on individual case facts, and a stale dispute cannot be referred under Section 10 of the Act.
