Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellants were discriminated against in the reference of their disputes to the Labour Court, as similarly situated persons had their cases referred without objection to delay. The Court directed the State of Himachal Pradesh to consider the appellants' cases for reference to the Labour Court, disregarding any delay objections, and mandated that this be completed within two months of the judgment's copy being produced. The outcome was favorable for the appellants, ensuring equal treatment in adjudication.
