Nagar Council, Kapurthala vs Davinder Singh & Ors

The Court affirmed that the appellants could raise all contentions before the Labour Court regarding their claims. The appeals were dismissed as the appellant, a 'State' under Article 12, did not dispute the legal rights of the workmen, and the High Court's directions for payment were upheld.
