Food Corporation Of India vs Shyamal K. Chatterjee & Ors.

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court affirming that contract casual workers are entitled to wages on par with class IV employees, as established in FMAT No. 3614 of 1992. The Court clarified that the earlier order had merged into its own ruling, which did not negate the entitlement to enhanced wages. The Court found that the appellant's arguments regarding disparity and lack of inquiry into parity were unfounded, thus maintaining the High Court's directive for compliance with wage parity.
