The Supreme Court held that the Labour Court had jurisdiction to regularize the services of the appellant under the UP Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically referencing Section 4A. The Court found that the High Court erred in setting aside the Labour Court's award on the grounds of jurisdiction and the striking off of the defense due to non-payment of costs. The Court reinstated the Labour Court's decision, emphasizing that the appellant's regularization was justified and ordered the payment of back wages accordingly.
