U.P. STATE SUGAR & CANE DEV. CORPN. LTD. vs CHINI MILL MAZDOOR SANGH .

The Supreme Court addressed the claims of 14 seasonal workmen employed in a sugar factory, who sought to be declared permanent despite being categorized as seasonal workers under the Standing Orders. The Court held that the mere performance of duties beyond the crushing season does not automatically confer permanent status, emphasizing that the categorization is determined by the nature of employment as defined in the Standing Orders. The Court ultimately upheld the Labour Court's decision, affirming that the claims for permanent status were not substantiated under the relevant provisions.
