The Supreme Court of India during the periods of 1950’s decided industrial dispute generally within the ambit of the strict law and adhering to the literal interpretation of the provisions of labour legislation and contractual obligations. Justice Bhagavati, an eminent judge of Supreme Court in an exceptional situation evolved the notion of social justice who remarked that the ultimate object of industrial adjudication is true to help the growth and progress of the national economy to promote industrial peace.
