    Case Summary: WP/82/2014 - Vallabh Bhobe v. State of Goa The High Court of Bombay at Goa quashed the Labour Court II's judgments (dated 02.09.2010) awarding monies to two former employees of M/s Dukle Bhobe & Co., finding the tribunal lacked jurisdiction. The court held that since the establishment was a shop registered under the Goa Shops and Establishments Act 1973 (not an industry), claims should have been pursued under that Act's framework, not the Industrial Disputes Act. Additionally, the tribunal improperly adjudicated entitlements under Section 33-C(2)—which permits only computation of pre-determined benefits—rather than restricting itself to calculation. The court also found the petitioner was not properly served, violating natural justice principles. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
