Orchid EmployeesㆠUnion & Ors vs Orchid Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Ltd

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 appellants, members of a union, could not obstruct ingress and egress to the respondent company's premises while maintaining their rights to strike under the Industrial Disputes Act. The High Court's directive to maintain status quo until the resolution of disputes before the Deputy Commissioner of Labour was affirmed, ensuring industrial peace and lawful assembly.
