Court: Delhi

Decided on: Jan-13-1972

Reported in: ILR1972Delhi649; 1973LabIC754

An order transferring one industrial dispute from one Labour Court to another for purely administrative reasons, such as a transfer of the concerned officer, or in order to re-distribute the work between different officers, and it is so stated in the order of transfer itself, would be purely administrative and could not be said to be quasi-judicial.

Propriety and fairness would require that the concerned judicial officer should not only be apprised of what is stated against him but also must be given an opportunity of making his own comments on such allega...
