Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Labour Court at Aurangabad has territorial jurisdiction to entertain the complaint of the appellant, despite the termination occurring in Pondicherry. The Court reasoned that the decision to terminate was made at Aurangabad, establishing a part of the cause of action there. Consequently, the Court set aside the orders of the High Court and the Industrial Court, restoring the Labour Court's jurisdiction to consider the complaint on merits, mandating a decision within six months.
