Labour Court's Power to Review Orders - The Labour Court generally lacks the authority to review its own orders on merits, as it is considered a creature of statute with limited inherent powers. Its review powers are primarily procedural and confined to correcting errors such as procedural mistakes or errors apparent on the face of the record. It does not have the inherent or implied power to revisit and alter its substantive judgments or merits of a case. MSCO (P) LIMITED VS S. D. RANE - Bombay, U. P. STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD VS PRESIDING OFFICER, LABOUR COURT - Allahabad, Sudhir Janardhan Desai VS Hyphosphite & Co. & others - Bombay, MANAGING DIRECTOR, K. S. R. T. C. VS GOPALAPPA AMARAPPA SALIMANI - Karnataka
-
Inherent and Procedural Review Powers - The High Court has clarified that while the Labour Court has some inherent power to recall or correct procedural errors, it does not possess the broader power to review its own decisions on substantive grounds. The distinction between procedural review and review on merits is emphasized, with procedural review being permissible for correcting procedural errors, but merit review being outside its jurisdiction.

-
Judicial Precedents and Limitations - Several judgments reinforce that the Labour Court cannot revisit or modify its earlier orders on substantive issues, such as termination or dismissal, unless explicitly provided by law. The courts have consistently held that the Labour Court's authority is limited to ensuring procedural correctness and not re-evaluating the merits of the case. U. P. State Electricity Board VS Presiding Officer, Labour Court - Allahabad, ELGIN MILLS CO. LTD. VS ADD. REGIONAL COMMISSIONER - Allahabad
-
Specific Instances of Review Power - Certain authorities, like the Additional Labour Commissioner, are recognized to have limited review powers in specific contexts, such as reviewing rejection of applications under statutory provisions, but these are exceptions rather than the rule. Overall, the general principle remains that Labour Courts do not have the power to review their own orders on merits. ELGIN MILLS CO. LTD. VS ADD. REGIONAL COMMISSIONER - Allahabad, MSCO (P) LIMITED VS S. D. RANE - Bombay
Analysis and Conclusion:
The consensus across the cited sources is that Labour Courts do not possess the authority to review their own orders on substantive merits. Their review powers are confined to procedural corrections and errors apparent on the record. Any attempt to re-open or modify substantive judgments on merits is beyond their jurisdiction, emphasizing the finality of their decisions unless explicitly permitted by law. This limitation ensures judicial stability and adherence to the statutory framework governing Labour Courts.
