Cement Workers Karamchari Sangh vs M/S. Jaipur Udyog Limited & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Rajasthan High Court's order remitting the matter to the AAIFR for fresh hearing was justified as it breached the principles of natural justice by not providing a reasonable opportunity to M/s. Jaipur Udyog Ltd. The Court emphasized the need for fair hearing under Section 15 of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985. However, the Court also recognized the complexities arising from a bipartite agreement between the workers' union and the company, which led to disputes among various worker factions, thus necessitating careful monitoring of the settlement's implementation.
