Judgment

P. JAGANMOHAN REDDY, J: The Appellant is an Electricity Supply Co., and in this Appeal by Special Leave challenges the Award made against it, by the Industrial Tribunal (III) at Allahabad on 15th November 1965. The dispute between the Appellant and its Workmen is one relating to the bonus payable for the year 1960-61. As an amicable settlement could not be arrived at, the State of U. P. by its order dated 24-1-1962 referred the following dispute for adjudication to the Tribunal:

"Should the employers be required to pay bonus to their Workmen for the year 1960-61? If so, at what rate and with what details?"

The case of the Appellant was that after allowing for prior charges no available surplus was left for the payment of bonus to workmen. According to the Company a gross profit of Rs. 6,06,684/- was earned for the year ending 31st March 1961, but the Tribunal added to it a sum of Rs. 9,949/- as representing extraneous income and consequently computed the gross profit at Rs. 6,16, 633/-. The following prior charges were claimed by the Appellant and we have indicated as against each one of these in the opposite columns what the Tribunal has awarded and disallowed:
