The Madras high court has made it clear that employees do not have the right to remain in a factory premises after working hours and doing so will amount to trespassing.
The judge made the observations on the plea moved by Hindustan Motor Finance Corporation Limited located in Tiruvallur, seeking direction to the district superintendent of police to provide adequate police protection to prevent a group of protesting employees from illegally trespassing into the factory premises.
“An employee does not have the right to occupy the property of the employer. The act of employees remaining inside the factory premises after working hours will amount to seizure and holding of the building, preventing the use of the premises by the employer and depriving the employer of his property,” Justice N Anand Venkatesh said.
“The conduct of the protesting employees is unjustified. Even if they are trying to impress upon the petitioner to continue their employment and yield to their request, the method adopted by them is unlawful,” the court said. It directed the employees to leave the premises of the petitioner on their own on or before June 17.
