Labour Minister of Tamil Nadu, Sri T.M. Anbarasan introduced in the Assembly a Bill to grant powers of a Civil Court to Labour Courts and Tribunals for executing their own award as a decree of civil court.
The Bill was later passed by a voice vote.
The amendment to Industries Disputes Act, 1947, in its application to Tamil Nadu was welcomed by members, who also demanded more powers to Labours Courts and Tribunals.
The statement of objects and reasons of the Bill states:
“At present under Industrial Dispute Act,1947 ( Central Act XIV of 1947), Labour Courts and Tribunals are not having the power to execute their own awards like decree of the civil Court in case the award in question is not being implemented by the employer.
In order to alleviate the difficulties experienced by the workmen in getting awards implemented by the employer, the Government has decided to confer powers of Civil Court to Labour Court and the Tribunal to execute their own award as a decree of Civil Court. It is proposed to enable Labour Courts and Tribunals to execute any settlement under the said Act as a decree.”
