M/S Ariane Orgachem Pvt.Ltd vs Wyeth Employees Union & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the Deputy Commissioner of Labour to refer the industrial dispute to the Industrial Tribunal under Section 10(1)(d) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the transfer of employment under Section 25-FF must ensure continuity of service and that the withdrawal of complaints by the Union does not negate the rights of the workmen. The Court affirmed that the workmen's demand for reinstatement was valid despite the acceptance of the Voluntary Retirement Scheme, thereby reinforcing the principle of fair labor practices.
