KERALA ELECTRICAL & ALLIED ENGINEERING vs GEN.SEC.KEL EMPLOYEES ASSN.(AITUC)

The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the competent and appellate authorities that the two workmen were classified as causal labourers, thus making them eligible for benefits under Section 3 of the relevant Act. The Court found no merit in the appellant's contention that the workmen were permanent employees, affirming that the determination of employment status was a factual finding. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed without any order as to costs.
