Judegement

Case Summary: REF(T) No. 23/2025 Court: Labour Court, Junagadh Petitioner: Bharatbhai Raghavbhai Katariya Respondent: General Manager, HR, GRASIM Industries Ltd., Indian Rayon Unit, Veraval Decision: The Labour Court ALLOWED the reference, holding the petitioner's termination from employment on 4/7/2001 was illegal and unjustified. The court directed reinstatement with full back wages, benefits, and arrears. The court rejected the company's defense based on delay in raising the dispute, finding the worker justified in awaiting decision on his departmental appeal before filing the reference, and applying settled legal principles that unexplained delay alone cannot bar relief.
