Section 6 Mathadi Act | Tripartite Board Mandatory for Adjudication; Single-Member Order Void: Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ruled that any order under the Maharashtra Mathadi Act must be issued only by a constitutionally mandated tripartite board, rendering single-member decisions legally invalid. This sets a binding precedent for all labour adjudications under the Act, ensuring statutory compliance and procedural fairness for thousands of manual workers in Maharashtra.
