Sarpanch, Gram Panchayat Indurkha and other vs Pralhad Totoba Pudke and other Advocate - T.S.Singade — 23/2025

Summary The Maharashtra Industrial Court set aside the Labour Court's decision that had ordered reinstatement of a Gram Rojgar Sevak (village worker) with 50% back wages, finding the lower court committed legal infirmities by not making the Gramsabha (village assembly) and the replacement employee as necessary parties to the case. The court held that since the Gramsabha alone has authority to appoint and terminate such positions under Government resolution 2011, it should have been included as a party, and remitted the matter back to the Labour Court for fresh adjudication after adding these necessary parties. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
