Larsen & Toubro Employees Union vs The Labour Officer (Conciliation) on 20 October, 2016
In Workman Employed in The Canteen In S.R.F. Ltd., v. Government of Tamil nadu and others (SC) reported in 1996 (II) LLN 965, while dealing with the preliminary objection raised by the management that a writ petition was not maintainable for the relief of a writ of mandamus to forbear the company from dispensing with services of canteen employees without prior permission under Section 25-O of the Act, the Apex Court held that if a writ petition was not maintainable ab initio the High Court ought not to have entertained and proceeded to examine the claim on merits and that the writ petition in that case was not maintainable on the private company.
