Premier Automobiles Ltd. v Kamlekar Shantaram Wadke and Ors.

Rule established

Where a right or obligation is created exclusively by the Industrial Disputes Act, and that Act provides a specific remedy through its own adjudicatory machinery, a civil suit to enforce that right is barred, and the aggrieved party must proceed through the industrial dispute resolution machinery; but where the right sought to be enforced exists independently of the Act, a civil suit remains maintainable.
