The Supreme Court modified the High Court's order regarding the recognition of trade unions under the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Union & Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act (MRTU Act), specifically Sections 11 and 12. The Court held that the Industrial Court must treat the applications for recognition as filed on 1.1.2006 and assess membership based on the six months preceding that date, rather than the original filing dates. The Court directed the Industrial Court to resolve the applications within three months, ensuring clarity in the decision-making process.
