Hind Kamgar Sanghatana vs Dai Ichi Karkaria Ltd.

The Supreme Court set aside the judgment of the High Court and remitted the matter back for fresh consideration regarding the recognition of trade unions under the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971, and the implications of having no recognized union in an establishment. The Court emphasized the need for the High Court to expedite the hearing of the writ petition, which had been pending since 2012, and allowed for the applicant-union to seek impleadment. The decision does not express any opinion on the merits of the case but highlights the unresolved issues regarding union recognition and registration.
