Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the findings of two different Industrial Tribunals regarding an industrial dispute arising from the reorganization of the employer's marketing division. The Court ruled that the reorganization did not constitute a change in service conditions under Section 9A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, and that the employer had the right to organize work as deemed fit. The Court emphasized that it does not reassess evidence under Article 136 unless findings are perverse or unsupported by evidence, thus affirming both awards.
