UOI vs SUBIR MUKHARJI

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal regarding the absorption and regularization of contract labourers under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1971. The Court emphasized that continuous and uninterrupted service entitles the workers to be considered for regularization in Group D positions. The appellants' argument that the workers were solely employees of the contractor was rejected, affirming the workers' rights to claim regularization and appropriate pay scales.
