Union Of India & Anr vs Kartick Chandra Mondal & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision affirming the Central Administrative Tribunal's order to absorb casual workers as regular employees, despite their initial engagement without proper recruitment procedures as per the Employment Exchange guidelines. The Court noted that the Government of India Office Memorandum dated 07.05.1985 allows for regularization of casual workers under certain conditions, and emphasized the need for equitable treatment of similarly situated employees. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the Tribunal's direction for regularization based on the principle of fairness and the specific circumstances of the case.
