Bajaj Auto Limited vs R.P. Sawant And Ors.

The Supreme Court disposed of the appeal based on a settlement between the parties, wherein the workmen would be made permanent without changes to their service conditions, and the company would pay a lump sum calculated at 65 days' salary for each year worked, with a minimum salary of Rs. 8,000 per month. The Court clarified that the reinstatement order was set aside and that the terms of the settlement would be final, leaving the High Court's questions open and not treated as precedent. The Court held that the workmen would not have further claims against the company post-settlement.
