Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant, aggrieved by the denial of work by the Life Insurance Corporation of India, was entitled to pursue an alternative remedy under the Industrial Disputes Act, as indicated by the High Court. The Court noted that the delay in approaching the Division Bench was due to the non-communication of the earlier judgment. The appeal was disposed of, allowing the appellant to seek the alternative remedy without the dismissal on grounds of delay, provided it is pursued within two months.
