BOMBAY LABOUR UNION REPRESENTING THE WORKMEN OF MESSRS vs MESSRS INTERNATIONAL FRANCHISES PVT. LTD

The Supreme Court held that the rule terminating the employment of women upon marriage was unjustified, as there was no evidence to suggest that married women would be less regular or efficient than unmarried women. The Court emphasized that industrial adjudication has the authority to assess and modify employment conditions, rejecting the employer's claim of absolute freedom to impose such conditions. The rule was abrogated as it lacked merit and could not be justified on its own, despite its existence in other concerns.
