Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of clauses 8.2 and 16.3 of an agreement between NTPC and BALCO, which the appellants, employees transferred from NTPC to BALCO, claimed were illegal and arbitrary. The Court held that the unilateral change in service conditions without the consent of the employees was unenforceable, thereby protecting the rights of the non-executive workers. The judgment emphasized the importance of adhering to established service conditions and the need for consent in employment agreements.
