Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-30-2005

Reported in: (2005)IIILLJ577Bom

D.Y. Chandrachud, J.1. The Industrial Tribunal has ruled on a wage reference that was referred to it for adjudication. The Union has confined the challenge before the Court to the award to the extent to which it accepted the plea of the management in a notice of change under Section 9A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and substituted a fresh scheme for dearness allowance for the existing scheme which had held the field for over 30 years. The existing pattern of providing dearness allowance was based on a dual linkage - linkage based on slabs of basic pay and linked to the Consumer Price Index. As a result of the award, the Tribunal accepted the case of the management and while removing the linkage with basic pay approved the payment of dearness allowance confined only to a variation based on the Consumer Price Index. The Union representing the workmen challenges the award to this extent under Article 226 of the Constitution.2. Madura Coats Limited came into existence on 1st July 19...
