Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals against the Bombay High Court's judgment regarding unfair labor practices under the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971 (MRTU & PULP Act). The Court upheld the Industrial Court's finding that the complaints were not maintainable under Item 6 of Schedule IV and clarified that the period of involuntary unemployment must be considered for employees who had not completed 240 days of service. The Court affirmed the Division Bench's ruling that the employer's actions constituted unfair labor practices, emphasizing the employer's obligation to provide continuity of employment.
