Yugal Sikri vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court held that for a complaint under Section 29 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, there must be a specific averment regarding the existence of a binding settlement or award and its breach. The Court emphasized that under Section 34(1) of the ID Act, cognizance can only be taken on a complaint made by or under the authority of the appropriate Government, and a private person cannot file such a complaint. The High Court's dismissal of the petition under Section 482 of the CrPC was found to be without proper consideration of these legal requirements.
