Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the regularization of daily wage workers under Section 25B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the State Government's resolution to regularize services based on the recommendations of a committee constituted for this purpose was valid and binding. The Court held that the rights of the workers to regularization and benefits as per the recommendations were to be honored, thus dismissing the appeals of the State of Gujarat.
