The Supreme Court upheld the Tribunal's Award under Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which directed the absorption of 49 casual workmen by the Food Corporation of India, finding that their continued casualization constituted unfair labor practice. The Court rejected the Corporation's argument that the workmen's appointments were backdoor entries, affirming the principle of social justice in labor relations. The appeal by the Corporation was dismissed, thereby maintaining the rights of the workmen to regular employment.
