Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's modification of the Labour Court's award regarding the employment of ten casual workers, affirming that their continuation in service until superannuation is mandated under Industrial Law. The Court emphasized that termination of their services must comply with legal provisions, and they are entitled to wages equivalent to regular employees. The judgment referenced the Industrial Disputes Act and established that despite the employer's financial constraints, the rights of the workers must be protected.
