Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether an employee should pursue remedies under the Industrial Disputes Act or civil court, ultimately deciding to dismiss the appeal of the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation. The Court noted the respondent-employee's long service and existing favorable decrees from lower courts, concluding it would be unjust to disturb his employment at this stage. The question of law regarding the appropriate forum for such disputes was left open, and no costs were imposed.
