GUJARAT MAJDOOR SABHA, vs KALPTARU POWER TRANSMISSION LTD. — 55/2025

Case Summary: Reference (I.T.) 55/2025 Outcome: Application disposed; case adjourned for further proceedings. The Industrial Tribunal rejected the employer's request to decide preliminarily whether contractor arrangements are "sham and bogus" before addressing other demands. The Tribunal held that while the High Court directed adjudication of this issue first, it constitutes a mixed question of law and fact requiring evidence from both parties. Defendants (contractors) are directed to file written statements by the next hearing, after which both sides must submit evidence on demands 1 and 2 regarding the nature of the contract arrangements.
