UTTARANCHAL FOREST DEV. CORP. vs M.C. JOSHI

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the termination of a daily wager under the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically referencing Section 6N. The Court upheld the Labour Court's finding that the termination contravened Section 6N, but reduced the back wages awarded from 50% to 25%. The Court emphasized that while there is no statutory limitation period for raising disputes under the Act, the relief depends on the specific facts of each case, affirming the principle that delay in seeking reference must be evaluated individually.
