Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision allowing a Writ Petition challenging the Industrial Tribunal's award under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court found that the relationship between the alleged workmen and the Company was indeed one of master and servant, despite the Company labeling them as 'Retainers'. The Court emphasized the need for proper recognition of employment status and the rights of workers, thereby reinforcing the principles of labor law and workers' rights under the Constitution.
