Abc Emporio LLP vs. Sub Inspector Of Police
Held
The Court made its interim order absolute, directing the petitioner to offer work to the pool workers at the existing rate. If the headload workers obstructed business or caused threats despite this offer, the police (respondents 1 & 2) were directed to afford adequate protection.
Facts
M/s. ABC Emporio LLP sought police protection against obstruction by headload workers (Pool No. 7) who demanded higher wages than the existing agreement. The petitioner alleged obstruction of business and threats when they refused the unilateral demand for enhanced rates, despite conciliation proceedings being underway.
Key Issues
The key legal issue was whether the petitioner was entitled to police protection against obstruction by headload workers demanding higher wages, especially when conciliation proceedings were ongoing and the petitioner had permanent workers.
