International Airport Authority ... vs International Airports Authority Of ...

The Supreme Court held that Sweepers employed in the parking areas of Airports are entitled to regularization under the Contract Labour (Abolition & Regulation) Act, 1970, as the definition of 'building' includes appurtenances such as car parks. The Court rejected the respondents' argument that parking areas do not form part of the building, affirming that the judgment in Civil Appeals Nos. 2987-2989 of 1997 applies to these workers. The applications for regularization were consequently allowed.
