Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the legality of a High Court's review order that set aside a Labour Court award and directed the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation to pay benefits and back wages to Mahadeo Krishna Naik. The Court considered whether the High Court had jurisdiction to review and alter the Labour Court's decision, emphasizing the limits of judicial review in employment disputes. The Court upheld the principle that review jurisdiction cannot be used to reappreciate factual findings or interfere with original decisions unless there is a legal error. The appeal was allowed, reaffirming the boundaries of judicial review in labour and employment matters.
