Rajasthan State Road Transport Corp vs Devi Shankar & Ors

Bench: 2 — Kurian

In Brief

This appeal challenges whether an employee should have pursued remedies under the Industrial Disputes Act rather than filing in civil court. The employee had secured three favorable decrees from lower courts and was nearing retirement after long service. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal without disturbing the employee's services, emphasizing that it would be unjust to disrupt his position given the circumstances. The underlying question of law about the proper forum was left open for future consideration.
