Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of a Trade Union's membership provisions under the Trade Unions Act, 1926, specifically regarding the inclusion of workers from different industries. The Court held that a Trade Union can amend its constitution to allow membership for workers from other establishments, thereby enabling it to represent their interests. The dismissal of the appellant-Union's writ petition by the High Court was overturned, affirming the Union's right to amend its membership criteria.
