M/S Amar Engineerg Woks and Anr. v. Shri K.G.Nair and Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court, by Special Leave, quashed three Labour Court awards granting reinstatement to workmen against an employer who had closed its unit. The Court held that since the closure was undisputed, the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to inquire into the reasons for closure or the bonafides of the employer.
What did the court decide?
The impugned awards of the Labour Court are quashed and set aside, and the references of the workmen are rejected.
