https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=279163 Section 18(3)(b) of the Industrial Disputes Act implies a limited power in the Industrial Tribunal to summon or add persons not originally party to the reference where their presence is necessary to make the adjudication effective and the award enforceable. That implied power does not authorise the Tribunal to enlarge the scope of the reference or introduce a separate dispute. A party may be joined only if non-joinder would render the proceedings ineffective or the award incapable of implementation. Applying that test, the proposed company was not a necessary party because the controversy would have extended beyond the reference and involved separate questions of liability and true employer status. en-us Wed, 01 Apr 1964 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 09 Sep 2022 15:06:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=279163 Section 18(3)(b) of the Industrial Disputes Act implies a limited power in the Industrial Tribunal to summon or add persons not originally party to the reference where their presence is necessary to make the adjudication effective and the award enforceable.
