    The High Court of Bombay at Aurangabad quashed the Labour Court's order that had set aside an ex-parte industrial award, holding that applications to set aside ex-parte awards must be filed within 30 days under Rule 26 of the Industrial Disputes (Maharashtra) Rules, 1957, and the Labour Court loses jurisdiction to entertain late applications. However, the court clarified that the respondent remains free to challenge the ex-parte award through other appropriate legal proceedings available under law.
