Dr. Pramod Bagchi , Assistant Professor, Department of Law, University of North Bengal, West Bengal, India

Abstract

This study delves into the profound impact of judicial decisions on labor jurisprudence and their role as catalysts for transformation within the workplace. Through a comprehensive analysis of landmark labor cases, legal doctrines, and evolving judicial interpretations, we explore how the judiciary has shaped the legal landscape governing labor relations. This examination spans from the early labor movement to contemporary labor issues, illuminating how court rulings have influenced employment practices, workers' rights, and the dynamics of employer-employee relationships. By understanding the intricate interplay between the judiciary and labor law, we gain insights into the evolution of workplace norms and the pursuit of social justice in employment.
