MAHARASHTRA STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORP. vs PREMLAL

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether Clause 49 of the 1956 Settlement was replaced by Clause 19 of the 1985 Settlement and a subsequent Resolution No.8856 dated 31.8.1978. The Court held that the Joint Committee's decision to revise the 1956 Settlement was valid under Clause 9 of the 1968 Settlement, thereby affirming the Corporation's stance that the daily wage system was abolished for employees who had worked for 180 days continuously. The appeals by the employer were allowed, confirming the legality of the revised settlement terms.
