Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision allowing the writ appeal filed by the Trade Union under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically referencing Section 33-C. The Court established that the Deputy Commissioner is obligated to recover statutory dues of workmen as arrears of land revenue, and the Karnataka State Financial Corporation must not appropriate sale proceeds from the company's assets until the workmen's claims are satisfied. The outcome favored the workmen, ensuring their dues were prioritized over the corporation's claims.
