TRANSPORT & DOCK WORKERS UNION vs MUMBAI PORT TRUST

The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition concerning the alleged violation of Article 14 of the Constitution, where Typist-cum-Computer Clerks appointed before 1.11.1996 worked six and a half hours, while those appointed after worked seven and a half hours. The Court held that the differentiation in working hours did not constitute discrimination as it was based on policy changes due to technological advancements and competition. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Bombay High Court's judgment.
