Andhra Pradesh High Court Grants Police Protection to Realme Amid Worker Protests at Wingtech Manufacturing Facility

The Andhra Pradesh High Court granted police protection to Realme Mobile Telecommunications to facilitate the transfer of manufactured stock from Wingtech Mobile Communications' Tirupati facility amidst ongoing worker protests. The protests were triggered by Wingtech's financial distress, following the attachment of its bank accounts by the GST department over alleged dues. Realme, having fully paid for manufacturing services, sought the Court's intervention to ensure the safe movement of over 11,000 finished smartphones and accessories valued at more than ₹30 crore. The Court directed local police to provide necessary security, with the condition that Realme bear the associated expenses. This ruling underscores the judiciary's role in resolving industrial disputes and protecting business interests.
