https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=309488 The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 does not make a Labour Court or Industrial Tribunal functus officio merely because an award has become enforceable. The statutory scheme, including the power to regulate procedure under Section 11(1) and the rules on ex parte proceedings, preserves ancillary authority to set aside an ex parte award where a party was denied a fair hearing and sufficient cause is shown for non-appearance. Sections 17, 17A and 20(3) govern publication, enforceability and conclusion of proceedings, but do not exclude this corrective power.
