M. P. Irrigation Karamchari Sangh vs The State Of M. P. And Anr on 27 February, 1985
As has
been held in M.P. Irrigation Karamchari Sangh case [(1985) 2 SCC
103 : 1985 SCC (L&S) 409 : (1985) 2 SCR 1019] , there may be
exceptional cases in which the State Government may, on a proper
examination of the demand, come to a conclusion that the demands
are either perverse or frivolous and do not merit a reference.
Further, the Government should be very slow to attempt an
examination of the demand with a view to declining reference and
courts will always be vigilant whenever the Government attempts to
usurp the powers of the Tribunal for adjudication of valid disputes,
and that to allow the Government to do so would be to render
Section 10 and Section 12(5) of the Act nugatory.
