OIL & NATURAL GAS CORPORATION LTD. vs PETROLEUM EMPLOYEES UNION . — SLP(C) No. 21214 - 21215/2003

Summary: The Supreme Court granted permission to file the special leave petitions and condoned the delay in filing. ONGC challenged the High Court's direction to the Government to refer a dispute regarding contract labour employment genuineness under Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, contending it was incorrect. The Court disposed of the petitions, declining to express views as the matter was already referred to the Industrial Tribunal, and confined the impugned judgment to the parties in these proceedings only. No further orders were passed on interlocutory applications. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
