Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted the provision regarding the appointment of Directors from Trade Unions, emphasizing that at least one Director must be from a recognized Union to ensure fair representation of workmen on the Board. The Court held that while the second Director can be appointed from representatives of other registered but unrecognized Trade Unions, the State Government should consider the membership size to avoid arbitrariness. The appeal was disposed of with these clarifications, ensuring justice and fair play in the representation of workmen.
