Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed that the 23 workmen of the Food Corporation of India, who were to be retrospectively absorbed, must receive superannuation benefits if they have reached that age, along with back wages as previously ordered in Civil Appeal No. 9182 of 1996. The Court emphasized that the process of reinstatement, absorption, and payment of dues must be completed within eight weeks, thereby resolving the ongoing controversy regarding their employment status. The judgment reaffirms the earlier decisions and ensures the workmen's rights are upheld.
