Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's decision under the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, affirming that the dismissal of the first respondent was not justified and that the inquiry was not fair. The Court held that the Labour Court had the authority to amend its award under Section 6(6) of the Act, allowing for reinstatement with continuity of service and full back-wages. The judgment emphasized the importance of fair inquiry in disciplinary proceedings and the rights of employees under labor laws.
