Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the Industrial Court's order, which set aside the Additional Registrar's cancellation of the Poona Employees Union's registration under the Trade Unions Act, 1926. The Court ruled that the appellant lacked locus standi to challenge the registration, as he was expelled from the Union and did not demonstrate a legal interest in the matter. The Court emphasized that the registration was not obtained by fraud or mistake, thus affirming the validity of the Trade Union's registration under Sections 4 and 6 of the Act.
