GANGADHAR PILLAI vs M/S. SIEMENS LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of unfair labor practices under Item No. 6 of Schedule IV of the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971. The Court held that the temporary nature of the appellant's employment, which was based on project-specific contracts, did not entitle him to claim regularization or protection under the Act. The judgment affirmed the decision of the Industrial Tribunal, emphasizing that the appellant's services were not continuous and were subject to termination upon project completion, thus ruling against the appellant's claims.
