Town Municipal Council, Athani vs Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Hubli ... on 20 March, 1969
Athani v.
Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Hubli and
others, AIR 1969 S.C. 1335, it has been held
by the Supreme Court that the Limitation Act
applies to `Courts' and not to bodies other
than Courts such as quasi-judicial tribunals or
executive authorities. It has also been
observed in that, decision that an Industrial
Tribunal or a Labour Court dealing with
applications or references under the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 is not a Court
for the purpose of Limitation Act. because it is
not governed either by the Code of Civil
Procedure or the Code of Criminal Procedure.
For these two reasons, we are of the opinion
that the provisions of Sec. 5 of the Limitation
Act, 1963, do not apply to the instant case."
