In Brief
IEL Supervisors' Association challenged a High Court judgment remitting a dispute back to the Labour Court regarding whether supervisors and deputy superintendents qualify as 'workmen' under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Supreme Court found that the High Court could not remit the matter again since it had already been remanded once and conflicting Labour Court views existed on the identical issue. The Court allowed the appeal and directed the High Court to finally decide the classification issue itself, without further remand, using materials already on record."
