ince the labour court has already passed the award the issue of territorial jurisdiction can no more be questioned.

The court can not go behind the ward anymore.

in other words the award is liable for execution wherein the issue of jurisdiction is of no excuse.

The territorial jurisdiction in this case shall be where the actual cause o acon arose.

If there is any discrimination in this, the matter be taken up to high court for remedy and relief.
