UNION OF INDIA vs A.S.PILLAI .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to regularize the services of part-time Civilian Bandsmen at Air Force Station, Tambaram, who had been employed for extended periods without a regular pay scale. The Court emphasized that the petitioners were unfairly treated by receiving only a fraction of the earnings from civilian functions and highlighted the lack of justification for their continued status as daily wagers. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling that directed the Union of India to regularize the petitioners' employment, thus ensuring their rights to fair remuneration under Article 14 and Article 21 of the Constitution.
