The Management Of Indian Bank vs The Presiding Officer, Industrial ... on 3 October, 1989
18. The Division Bench took the view that Sinha. J. in Lilavathi Bai v. The State of Bombay (1957) S.C.R. 721 referred to the distinction between the jurisdiction of the tribunal to decide a certain fact as one of the issues in the controversy and the collateral fact on which the jurisdiction to determine the controversy arose. We have our own doubts on the correctness of the decision of the Bench. When the very same question has been held by the Supreme Court to be one of fact and it is held that a finding thereon cannot be interfered under Arts 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, we wonder how a contrary view can be taken by this Court. However, it is not necessary for us to consider the matter any further in this case as we have come to the same conclusion as the Tribunal on an appreciation of the evidence on record.
