Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of conducting elections for the Uttariya Railway Mazdoor Union under the Trade Unions Act, 1926. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the Union's Constitution, which mandates that the General Body, comprising office-bearers and delegates, is responsible for the election process. The Court held that the elections must be conducted in a manner that respects the principles of trade unionism and the rights of the members, thereby ensuring democratic governance within the Union.
