Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the High Court's dismissal of contempt applications related to the transfer of ownership of Philips India Ltd.'s Consumer Electronics Factory under Section 10(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court held that the transfer of ownership did not violate the rights of the employees as their employment was taken over by Kitchen Appliances India Ltd. with continuity of service. The Court upheld the legality of the transfer and dismissed the appeals, affirming the High Court's decisions.
