Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court which confirmed the Labour Court's order to recall an ex-parte award under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court found that the appellant had suppressed the correct address of the respondent, resulting in non-service of notice, thus justifying the recall of the award under Section 11 and Rule 26 of the Bombay Rules. The Court emphasized the importance of fair procedure in industrial disputes, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
