State Of Assam vs Barak Upatyaka D.U. Karmachari Sanstha

The Supreme Court upheld the Gauhati High Court's order directing the State of Assam to provide financial assistance to the Cachar and Karimganj District Milk Producers' Cooperative Union Limited (CAMUL) for the payment of salaries and allowances to its employees. The Court found that the state government had significant control over CAMUL, which justified the obligation to ensure employee payments under the Assam Co-operative Societies Act, 1949. The Court emphasized that the state government's failure to disburse sanctioned grants constituted a breach of its duty to the employees of CAMUL.
