The Employment of Labour (Standing Orders) Act, 1965 is a special law and the Labour Court not being a civil court can not take recourse to and apply the provisions under Order 9, Rule 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure for restoration of any proceeding before it in terms of the said Order and Rule if the proceeding before it is dismissed for default. But it (Labour Court) can certainly, in a just and appropriate case, interfere with its own order of dismissal for default in following the provisions of the said law in substance to prevent any miscarriage of justice. .....Crescent Jute Mills Co.
