M/S. Bihar Caustic And Chemical Ltd vs Lallandeo Singh

The Supreme Court held that under Section 33(2)(b) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the approval of dismissal of an employee must consider any settlements reached between the parties. The Court found that a settlement had been reached between the appellant and the respondent, which was not acknowledged by the High Court. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and deemed the appeal disposed of in accordance with the settlement terms, allowing the appeal without costs.
