Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the term 'Implementation Machinery' under Section 11 of the Code of Discipline includes both Implementation Units in Labour Departments and Tripartite Implementation Committees, which function independently. The Court found that the appellant union correctly approached the Labour Commissioner, who is the designated Implementation Officer, for recognition. The High Court's conclusion that the Labour Commissioner was not part of the 'Implementation Machinery' was incorrect, leading to the appeal being allowed and directions for expeditious recognition proceedings.
