📌 Paras 2-3
The employer, Bonatrans India Pvt. Ltd., appealed against a High Court order that disposed of two writ petitions, one by the Employees' Union and one by the employer. The Union had filed a complaint before the Industrial Court alleging unfair labour practices and challenging disciplinary proceedings. The employer objected to the Union's locus standi, arguing that the employees on whose behalf the complaint was filed were not 'workmen' under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Industrial Court rejected the employer's objection, leading to the employer's writ petition. Conversely, the Union's plea for interim relief against disciplinary inquiries was declined, forming the subject of the Union's writ petition.
