Bastiram vs Rajasthan State Road Transport ...

The Supreme Court held that the jurisdiction of the Civil Court was improperly invoked in the dismissal case of the appellant under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the proper remedy for disputes arising from employment termination lies under the Industrial Disputes Act, not in civil courts. However, to meet the ends of justice, the Court awarded the appellant a lump sum compensation of ₹2,00,000 instead of addressing the jurisdictional issue or the merits of the case.
