The Supreme Court held that the Industrial Tribunal's ex parte award under Section 10(1) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 was invalid as the appellant was not given a fair opportunity to present their case. The Court emphasized the necessity of natural justice in adjudicatory processes, particularly in labor disputes. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and the Tribunal's award, allowing the appeals and restoring the Single Judge's decision.
