Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Section 630 of the Companies Act, 1956, determining that the provision extends not only to employees of a company but also to individuals claiming rights through them. The Court held that the legal heirs of a deceased employee can contest possession claims related to company property, affirming that the rights of such heirs are protected under the Act. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, recognizing the standing of the appellants in the matter.
