Hindustan Petroleum Corpn. Ltd vs Ashok Ranghba Ambre

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order granting permanent status to the respondent under Article 226 of the Constitution was erroneous, as the respondent was engaged on a casual basis without following proper procedures. The Court emphasized that the respondent's employment did not meet the criteria for regularization under Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as he was not a regularly appointed employee. The appeal by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. was allowed, overturning the High Court's decision.
