Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the petition challenging the sale of plants and equipment of the Sindri Fertilizer Factory, holding that the sale did not violate the petitioners' rights under Article 19(1)(g) or Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that a violation of a fundamental right is essential for invoking Article 32, and found no merit in the claim that the sale jeopardized the employment of the workers. The decision clarified that the jurisdiction under Article 32 is integral to enforcing fundamental rights, but the petitioners failed to demonstrate any infringement of such rights.
