Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court which remitted the matter back to the Labour Commissioner to determine the employment status of Jaswant Singh under the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court found that the termination of services was improperly based on a transfer order that lacked legal backing under the Standing Orders. The Court emphasized that the jurisdiction of the Labour Commissioner was appropriate for adjudicating the workman status, thereby affirming the High Court's order.
