1994 0 Supreme(SC) 861 : The legal documents explicitly state that an industrial dispute does not abate or come to an end merely because the workman who was a party to the dispute has died pending adjudication. The court held that the heirs and legal representatives of the deceased workman are entitled to continue the proceedings. This directly contradicts the notion that inquiry proceedings cannot be challenged after the death of the workman. The judgment in Rameshwar Manjhi v. Sangramgarh Colliery confirms that the Tribunal does not become functus officio and the reference does not abate on the death of the workman, even in individual disputes under Section 2-A of the Industrial Disputes Act. Therefore, the death of the workman does not bar the continuation of inquiry proceedings by legal representatives.Checking relevance for Rameshwar Manjhi (Deceased) Through His Son Lakhiram Manjhi VS Management Of Sangramgarh Colliery...
1993 0 Supreme(SC) 1071 : The legal documents establish that inquiry proceedings can indeed be continued after the death of a workman. The court held that on the death of a workman during the pendency of an industrial dispute under Section 2A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the reference does not abate or become functus officio. Instead, the heirs and legal representatives of the deceased workman are entitled to agitate questions regarding whether the termination was just, legal, and proper, and if wrongful, to claim compensation for the period from a fixed date until the date of reinstatement (or until the date of death if reinstatement is not possible). This directly contradicts the notion that proceedings cannot be challenged after the workman''''s death.Checking relevance for Mamta Devi VS Reliance General Insurance Company Limited...

2025 Supreme(Online)(Bom) 4226 : The death of a workman during the pendency of inquiry proceedings does not abate the right of the legal heirs or representatives to continue the proceedings and claim benefits, including monetary relief, as successors to the deceased. This is based on the principle that the applicability of the maxim ''''actio personalis moritur cum persona'''' depends on the relief claimed and the facts of each case. In particular, claims for back wages or other monetary benefits are not extinguished by the workman''''s death, and the legal representatives may continue the proceedings to secure such benefits.Checking relevance for Ranjeet Singh VS Union Of India...
2022 0 Supreme(Raj) 1711 : The legal documents establish that inquiry proceedings cannot be automatically abated upon the death of a workman. In the case of Shri Rameshwar Manjhi v. Management of Sangaramgarh (1994) 1 SCC 292, the Hon''''ble Supreme Court held that the applicability of the maxim ''''actio personalis moritur cum persona'''' depends on the ''''relief claimed'''' and the facts of each case. While relief such as reinstatement cannot be granted after death, other claims like back wages or monetary relief may still be pursued by legal representatives. The court emphasized that proceedings should continue at the instance of legal heirs/representatives to maintain industrial peace and ensure benefits are available to successors of the deceased workman. This principle is reinforced by Rule 26 of the Railway Claims Tribunal (Procedure) Rules, 1989, which allows substitution of legal representatives within 90 days of death, indicating that claims do not end with the death of the claimant.Checking relevance for REKHA TOMAR VS MADHYA PRADESH WAREHOUSING AND LOGISTICS CORPORATION, BHOPAL...

2024 0 Supreme(Guj) 2196 : The legal documents establish that inquiry proceedings can indeed be continued after the death of a workman. The court held that the rights of a workman survive even after their death, allowing legal heirs to continue the industrial dispute proceedings. The Labour Court erred in denying the application to join legal heirs based on jurisdictional grounds, as the Labour Court must decide on the merits of the case rather than rejecting applications solely on jurisdictional grounds. Therefore, the claim that inquiry proceedings cannot be challenged after the death of a workman is incorrect under the applicable legal framework.
