TULIP STAR HOTELS vs UNION OF CENTAUR-TULIP EMPLOYEES

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court affirming the Industrial Court's ruling that a complaint under the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971 was maintainable despite the appellant's objections. The Court emphasized that the relationship of employer and employee was established and left open for further evidence. The judgment clarified that the previous decisions cited by the appellant did not negate the maintainability of the complaint, thus affirming the lower courts' findings.
