M.P. MATHUR vs D.T.C. .

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of Resolutions No.55/79 and No.139/79 by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) regarding the transfer of service quarters to retired industrial workers. The Court held that the DTC was estopped from retracting its earlier decision to sell the tenements to the occupants, as the workers had relied on the DTC's resolutions and actions. The appeal was allowed, affirming the right of the appellants to ownership of the tenements under the relevant resolutions and the Industrial Disputes Act.
