MANAGEMENT OF R.S. MADHORAMAND SONS AGENCIES (P) LTD. vs ITS WORKMEN

The Supreme Court held that Section 25FF of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, requires the complete transfer of ownership or management of an undertaking for its applicability. In this case, the Court found that the retail business transferred was not a separate and distinct business, thus the transfer did not invoke Section 25FF. The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, concluding that the appellant could not claim to be a successor-in-interest of the original firm under the provisions of the Act.
