GURJANT SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB .

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the references under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, remitted by the High Court of Punjab and Haryana. The Court noted that the Industrial Tribunal, Patiala had issued awards reinstating the appellants with continuity of service but without back wages. Given this development, the Court deemed it unnecessary to keep the appeal pending, allowing the parties to pursue further legal recourse if aggrieved. The appeal was disposed of with no order as to costs.
