Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Labour Court had jurisdiction to regularize the services of the appellant under Section 4A of the UP Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, despite the High Court's ruling to the contrary. The Court found that the Labour Court's decision to regularize the appellant's services was valid and that the High Court erred in setting aside this award based on procedural grounds regarding the filing of written statements. The Court reinstated the Labour Court's award, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the principles of natural justice and the rights of workers in employment disputes.
