DIR. GENERAL OF WORKS, C.P.W.D. vs REG.LABOUR COMMISSIONER (CENTRAL) .

The Supreme Court set aside the Delhi High Court's order dismissing the Letters Patent Appeal regarding the entitlement of daily wagers to the same wages as permanent employees, as referenced in Surinder Singh & Anr. v. The Engineer in Chief CPWD & Ors. The Court noted the lack of factual findings on whether the work performed was identical and highlighted that other issues such as allowances and increments were not addressed. The matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh consideration, with a request for expedited disposal by July 2008.
