Maharashtra Rajya Rashtriya Kamgar Sangh vs M/s Exide Industries ltd Advocate - A. K. Gupte — 91/2022

SUMMARY The Industrial Court, Pune rejected an interim relief application filed by a trade union on behalf of six employees of Exide Industries Ltd., who challenged their transfer orders dated 27/06/2022 to the company's Bawal, Haryana plant. The court found that the complainants failed to establish a strong prima facie case of unfair labour practices, noting that the transfer decision was discussed with the existing Maharashtra Labour Union as early as June 2021—well before the complainant union's formation in May 2022. The court held that the transfers were made for genuine business exigencies (supply needs of major customers in North India) and did not breach service conditions, as transfer was an explicit clause in the employment contracts.
