India Yamaha Motor Pvt Ltd vs Dharam Singh & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the representation rights of workmen under Section 6-I of the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, and Rule 40 of the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Disputes Rules, 1957. The Court held that the management's objection to the representation of workmen through their union was valid due to the union's de-recognition, thus affirming the need for workmen to choose their representatives in accordance with the statutory provisions. The appeal by the management was allowed, reinforcing the procedural requirements for representation in industrial disputes.
