Union Of India vs Gagan Kumar

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal granting temporary status to a casual labourer who had completed the requisite period of service as per the Casual Labourers (Grant of Temporary Status and Regularization) Scheme, 1993. The Court clarified that the scheme applies to casual labourers who have worked the required number of days, regardless of their employment status at the time of the scheme's inception. The appeal by the Union of India was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's order for granting consequential benefits to the respondent.
