casestatus.in Summary

Summary of K.C.P. Limited v. Presiding Officer The Supreme Court allowed K.C.P. Limited's appeal, holding that a settlement negotiated by the recognized union on behalf of 29 dismissed workers binds all members, including the 12 dissenting workers (respondents 3-14), under Section 18(1) of the Industrial Disputes Act. The Court found the settlement terms—reinstatement without back wages or Rs. 75,000 compensation—were fair and not ex-facie unjust, as individual workers cannot contest collective bargaining agreements without proving fraud or unfairness. The Labour Court was directed to pass an award implementing the December 14, 1992 settlement for all 29 workers.
