PHOOL BADAN TIWARI vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court affirming the Central Administrative Tribunal's dismissal of the appellants' claims for regularization as railway employees. The Court found that the appellants, who worked in Handicraft Centres, were not considered railway servants, thus the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to entertain their applications under the relevant service laws. The Court referenced the precedent in M.M.R. Khan v. Union of India, establishing that the nature of employment and jurisdictional authority are critical in such cases.
