DIV.MANAGER, APSRTC vs P.LAKSHMOJI RAO

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of effective date of regular appointment and seniority under the Industrial Disputes Act, specifically referencing Section 25B. The Court held that the respondents' services should be regularized from the date of their initial appointment on a daily-wage basis, provided they completed one year of continuous service as defined in the Act. The Court found deficiencies in the High Court's reasoning and the lack of material evidence presented by the appellant-Corporation, leading to the conclusion that the High Court's orders were vague and not well-founded.
