GHAZIABAD DEV. AUTHORITY vs VIKRAM CHAUDHARY

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order regarding the employment of daily wage workers under the U.P. Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973, emphasizing that while the appellant is not classified as an industry under the Industrial Disputes Act, principles of natural justice and equity must be followed. The Court clarified that the appellant cannot terminate contingent employees without following the 'last come first go' principle and must maintain seniority among daily wage workers. The Court also ruled that the appellant is obligated to pay minimum wages as prescribed by law, but regularization of services is not applicable in the absence of regular posts.
