In the absence of the CMA proceedings, the High Court could not properly exercise its revisional jurisdiction or determine the legality or propriety of the award. The order for a retrial was proper as there was no record to reconstruct or review, and no injustice was caused to the parties by this order.

Procedural Posture

Civil Appeal / Appeal From High Court Judgment and Decree (labour Division) in Revision No. 411 of 2018

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the High Court erred in ordering a retrial at the CMA without a finding that the original trial was illegal or defective
  2. 2 Whether the High Court should have ordered reconstruction of the CMA file instead of a retrial
  3. 3 Whether ordering a retrial without considering potential injustice to the parties was proper

Ratio Decidendi

In the absence of the CMA proceedings, the High Court could not properly exercise its revisional jurisdiction or determine the legality or propriety of the award. The order for a retrial was proper as there was no record to reconstruct or review, and no injustice was caused to the parties by this order.

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • Parties to comply with the High Court order for expedited retrial before the CMA
