https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193611 Section 17(1) of the Industrial Disputes Act was construed as imposing a mandatory duty on the Government to publish a tribunal award, because the statutory scheme in sections 17(1), 17(2) and 17A showed that publication was intended to be obligatory and was the trigger for finality and enforceability. However, where a binding settlement under section 18(1) had come into force after the award was sent to the Government but before publication, the settlement had to be given effect to avoid a conflict between two binding instruments, and publication of the award could properly be withheld as infructuous in that special situation. en-us Wed, 20 Mar 1963 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 12:05:03 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193611 Section 17(1) of the Industrial Disputes Act was construed as imposing a mandatory duty on the Government to publish a tribunal award, because the statutory scheme in sections 17(1), 17(2) and 17A showed that publication was intended to be obligatory and was the trigger for finality and enforceability.
