    Case Summary: IA/2796/2026 Court Decision: The High Court of Bombay allowed the writ petition and declared Clause 114 of the 1999 settlement legal and enforceable. The court quashed the Industrial Court's dismissal order and directed MSRTC to remit 5% deducted from employee arrears to the union within twelve weeks, finding the State Government's withholding of approval was unsustainable and without legal authority. Key Reasoning: The court held that statutory settlements by recognized unions bind all covered employees regardless of membership percentage. Since Clause 114 deducted only from employees' own arrears (not state finances), the State had no valid ground to deny approval. The court rejected arguments about inter-union disputes, noting that recognition's purpose is to create a lawful negotiating agent whose settlements cannot be undermined by competing unions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
