Tribunal /Labour Court has no authority to set aside exparte award after 30 days either by consent or by settlement.
Held. An ex parte award can be set aside within 30 days of its publication since the Labour Court/Tribunal becomes functus officio thereafter.
A settlement for a meager amount of Rs 4000 each, as paid to the workmen against award of reinstatement with back-wages amounting to Rs. 37,500, will not be valid settlement and hence liable to be quashed.
The functionaries of a trade union should represent the interest of the workmen instead of trapping the workers for their own interest and polluting the industrial atmosphere and industrial peace.
