A petition under Section 33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act cannot be maintained without prior adjudication or agreement.

JUDGMENT The issue raised in this writ petition is covered against the petitioner by the judgment of this Court in D+H Solutions India Private Limited v. Jayakrishnan Ramachandran Nair [2026 KHC OnLine 85] , where this Court has taken the view that without there being a prior adjudication or an agreement of the nature referred to in Section 33C (2) of the Industrial Disputes Act , 1947, a petition under (2) of the 1947 Act cannot be maintained.

In the light of the view taken by this Court in the judgment referred to above, I cannot find any fault with the view taken by the Labour Court in the impugned order. The writ petition fails and it is, accordingly, dismissed.
