GIRI TEXTILES THR PROP CHANDRAYYA R PASNURI vs ANTHONY NADAR AND ANR Advocate - G H KELUSKAR, ,ADEKAR NUPUR SANTOSH — WP/15779/2025

Case Summary: Giri Textiles v. Anthony Nadar (WP 15779/2025) The High Court of Bombay dismissed the writ petition filed by Giri Textiles challenging the Labour Court and Industrial Court orders rejecting its objection that the employee's application was unmaintainable due to non-compliance with Section 42(4) of the Maharashtra Industrial Relations Act (requiring a mandatory approach notice before filing). The Court held that where the employer's identity and employment nature were themselves disputed in prior proceedings, strict procedural compliance cannot be rigidly imposed on a weaker workman who lacked clarity on who constituted the actual employer. The Court found the lower courts correctly characterized the objection as hypertechnical, noting the employer failed to produce conclusive evidence of communicating the termination order to the employee, thereby bearing the burden of proving compliance with limitation requirements.
