Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of civil courts in matters related to the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The High Court had previously ruled that the civil court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit, declaring the plaintiff's claims a nullity. The Supreme Court overturned this decision, affirming the civil court's jurisdiction and the plaintiff's right to seek regularization after proving 240 days of continuous service.
