The Supreme Court held that under Section 20(3) of the Bombay Industrial Relations Act, 1946, the Industrial Court cannot grant registration to a union that has not filed an application under Section 13 while hearing an appeal regarding the registration of another union. The Court clarified that the Industrial Court's powers are limited to confirming, modifying, or rescinding the Registrar's order, and it cannot direct the registration of a different union in the same order. Consequently, the part of the High Court's order granting registration to the respondent union was set aside.
