RAJASTHAN STATE ROAD TRPT. CORPN. . vs SHIV KUMAR BANSAL — C.A. No. 3431/2003

Summary of Civil Appeal No. 3431 of 2003 On 06/10/2005, the Supreme Court heard consolidated appeals (Nos. 3428-3431 of 2003 and 6584 of 2003) by Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation against respondents concerning probationer service terminations. The Court held that civil courts lacked jurisdiction, as termination disputes must be raised under the Industrial Disputes Act, relying on binding precedent. The Court set aside all civil court decrees granting reinstatement but clarified that any back-wages already paid would not be recovered; respondents remain entitled only to such amounts previously disbursed. The Court allowed respondents additional time to file industrial disputes by excluding litigation period from delay calculations. Appeals disposed with no order as to costs.
