Union Of India (Uoi) vs Gagan Kumar

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court affirming the Central Administrative Tribunal's order granting temporary status to a casual labourer under the Casual Labourers (Grant of Temporary Status and Regularization) Scheme of 1993. The Court clarified that Clause 4 of the Scheme applies to casual labourers who have completed the requisite number of days of service, and the Tribunal's interpretation that the scheme is ongoing was correct. The appeal by the Union of India was dismissed, maintaining the employee's entitlement to benefits from 1998 when he met the service requirement.
