    The High Court of Andhra Pradesh held that the Tahsildar's endorsement dated 07.02.2026 altering the union's name in municipal records was illegal and arbitrary, as it violated the principles of natural justice by denying the petitioner union a hearing. The court found that the registered trade union, recognized as the majority union since 1975, cannot be divested of its legal identity or proprietary rights through unilateral administrative action, and directed police to cease interfering in union affairs while granting the union liberty to challenge the endorsement through appropriate legal proceedings.
