Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 6E(2) of the UP Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, an employer must ensure full compliance with the payment of wages for one month prior to seeking approval for dismissal. The Court found that the respondent's failure to pay the full wages, resulting in a short payment of Rs. 110, invalidated their request for approval of the dismissal. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the Industrial Tribunal's order, reinforcing the necessity of strict adherence to statutory requirements for dismissal approvals.
