DIVISONAL MANAGER, RAJASTHAN S.R.T.C. vs KAMRUDDIN

The Supreme Court addressed the extent of interference by the Labour Court under Section 11A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, regarding the quantum of punishment imposed on a delinquent employee. The Court held that while the Labour Court can review the punishment, it must ensure that the punishment is not disproportionate to the misconduct. In this case, the termination of the conductor's services was deemed excessive given the nature of the infractions, leading to a directive for reconsideration of the punishment.
