Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the non-regularization of the Sub-Engineers employed by the Indore Development Authority was invalid, as they had been working satisfactorily for 5-6 years without any formal appointment against sanctioned posts. The Court emphasized the principle of equal pay for equal work, stating that the Appellants were entitled to the same salary as their counterparts in similar positions. The Court overturned the High Court's decision, thereby upholding the Labour Court's findings and granting relief to the Appellants.
