In Brief
This case concerns a wage dispute where an Industrial Tribunal awarded a Rs. 3,000 wage increase to workmen, which was subsequently stayed by the High Court on a writ petition by the employer. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's stay but directed the Industrial Tribunal to expeditiously decide the underlying reference (pending since 2013), finding that delay in resolving industrial disputes undermines the interests of justice. The appeal was disposed with directions for prompt final resolution of the matter by the Industrial Tribunal, emphasizing the need to prevent undue delays in labour disputes."
