The Case: Retired Employees Seek Help

The State Transport and Transport Corporations Retired Employees Welfare Association (REWA) asked the court for help. They said that some former members who were kicked out started a new group and were using REWA's name and logo without permission. This was causing confusion and problems for the original group.

The Court Steps In

Judge P.B. Balaji took charge of the case. He listened to both sides and decided that the problem needed to be solved quickly. The court told the District Registrar of Society to check out the appeal and make a decision by October 14, 2025.

"The court tells the District Registrar of Society to look into and decide on the State Transport and Transport Corporations Retired Employees Welfare Association's appeal... on or before 14.10.2025."

What Happens Next?

The District Registrar of Society has to investigate and listen to everyone involved before making a decision. This means all parties will have a chance to share their side of the story before any final decision is made.

By setting a deadline, Judge Balaji has ensured that the case won't take too long, which is good news for the retired employees looking for justice.
