Case Summary The Labour Court at Kolhapur allowed an application for condonation of delay filed by an unemployed forest worker seeking to challenge his oral termination from August 2022. The court found sufficient justification for the 2-year 2-month delay in filing the unfair labour practice complaint, considering the applicant's poor financial condition, lack of legal knowledge, remote location, and false hope of reinstatement. The court ordered registration of the original complaint under the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions & Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971, noting that deciding cases on merits rather than technicalities advances justice.
