Workmen Of Balmadies Estates vs Management Balmadies Estate And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of two workmen for theft under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically referencing Section 11(A) which allows the Labour Court to re-appreciate evidence. The Court found that the Labour Court's conclusion of insufficient evidence was flawed, as it failed to consider direct evidence from witnesses MW1 and MW2. The High Court's ruling that the Labour Court's decision was perverse was affirmed, leading to the dismissal of the writ appeal.
