DWARIKA PRASAD TIWARI vs MP. STATE ROAD TRPT. CORPN.

The Supreme Court addressed appeals from workmen of the M.P. State Road Transport Corporation regarding their classification and wage claims. The Court upheld the Full Bench decision in Narain Singh Rathore, clarifying that under the Madhya Pradesh Industrial Employment (Standing Order) Rules, 1963, classification pertains only to the entry stage of employment and not to promotions. The Court affirmed that temporary postings to higher positions do not confer permanent status, thus dismissing the appeals against the Single Judge's order that quashed the labour court's decision.
