Transport & Dock Workers Union & Ors vs Mumbai Port Trust & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed a challenge under Article 14 of the Constitution regarding the differing duty hours for Typist-cum-Computer Clerks appointed before and after November 1, 1996, at the Mumbai Port Trust. The Court held that the differentiation in duty hours was justified based on policy changes due to technological advancements and competition, thus not violating the equality provision. The Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision, affirming that the policy aimed at uniformity in working hours was a legitimate state action under Article 14.
