In Brief
Godrej and Boyce Manufacturing Company Limited challenged a High Court judgment that dismissed its writ petition concerning the transfer of employees. The company's counsel argued that transferability is an established condition of service and therefore the Industrial Court had no authority to interfere with the transfer order. The Supreme Court found this submission prima facie meritorious and granted a stay of the High Court's judgment pending further hearing, indicating that employee transfers pursuant to existing service conditions may fall outside the Industrial Court's jurisdiction.
