ISSUE:
What is the power and jurisdiction of the Registrar of Trade Unions to adjudicate the grievances of the rival parties?
RULE:
The Registrar of Trade Unions does not have the authority to determine the legality or propriety of an election or to order a fresh election. Disputes regarding the legitimacy of office bearers in a Trade Union should be resolved through civil suits in a court of competent jurisdiction, as the Trade Unions Act does not grant the Registrar jurisdiction for such matters.
