The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Labour Court under Section 11-C of the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, affirming that the 15 contract workers were entitled to be recognized as regular employees of the U.P. Road Transport Corporation and receive the minimum wages applicable to regular employees. The Court clarified that the Labour Court had jurisdiction to grant such relief despite the Corporation's argument regarding the applicability of the U.P.S.R.T.C Employees Service Regulations, 1981. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the Labour Court's order for the workers' regularization and wage benefits.
