Union Of India & Ors vs Vartak Labour Union

The Supreme Court upheld the Gauhati High Court's directive for the Union of India to regularize the services of casual workers employed by the Border Roads Organization (BRO) under the provisions of Articles 14, 15, and 16 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized the need for adherence to the reservation policy while considering regularization, as outlined in the circular dated 25th May 1988. The judgment reinforced the legal principle that long-term casual workers are entitled to consideration for regularization based on their years of service, thus affirming the High Court's order.
