Supreme Court heard petition by Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation seeking to overturn Tribunal award granting Artisan Grade‑I benefits retroactive to 2005.
The Industrial Tribunal had granted financial relief to workmen; High Court and Division Bench upheld the award, rejecting the corporation’s challenge.
No respondents appeared before the Supreme Court; the Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition, citing undue hardship to workmen if award overturned.
The dismissal leaves the Tribunal’s 2005‑effective financial benefit to workmen intact, with pending applications to be disposed.
