REGIONAL MANAGER, A.P.S.R.T.C. vs N. SATYANARAYANA .

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Andhra Pradesh High Court's dismissal of a writ appeal concerning the regularization of daily wage conductors. The Court found that the High Court misinterpreted its earlier judgment in Divisional Manager, APSRTC v. P. Lakshmoji Rao, which clarified that employees could not claim regularization from the date of initial appointment but could receive benefits based on seniority if others were regularized. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, emphasizing the importance of adhering to established legal principles regarding employment regularization under Section 25-B of the Industrial Disputes Act.
