The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's order allowing Civil Revision Petitions against the dismissal of interim applications under Section 22 of the Trade Unions Act, 1926. The Court emphasized that the formation of the appellant Union was under challenge, and the matter should be resolved through the Deputy Commissioner of Labour or referred to the Industrial Tribunal. The Court maintained that while the appellants could not obstruct ingress and egress within 100 meters of the factory, their rights to strike and peaceful assembly were preserved under the Industrial Disputes Act and Trade Unions Act.
