International Dresses Pvt. Ltd vs. Minister of Labour and Others – sllr 2011 volume 2 page 214

The case between International Dresses Pvt. Ltd. and the Minister of Labour and Others addressed the issue of whether the termination of services of twenty-two employees and related disciplinary actions were justified, and if the award of accrued benefits to the heir of a deceased employee was legally appropriate under the Industrial Disputes Act. The court held that the arbitrator’s award, which included reinstatement of the dismissed employees and allocation of accrued benefits to the heir, was valid and not subject to quashing. The findings established that judicial review by writ of certiorari is confined to questions of legality and does not permit the court to substitute its own views for those of the arbitrator. This principle was reaffirmed through reliance on established precedent
