SHRI KRISHAN vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court of Delhi's dismissal of a writ petition seeking regularization of canteen workers as Railway Employees, citing that the Mess at the S&T Training Centre was not recognized as a non-statutory canteen under Rule 2831 of the Railway Establishment Manual. The Court emphasized that the absence of proper sanction from the Railway Board precluded the workers from being classified as Railway Employees. The petitioners' claims for permanent absorption were thus rejected, affirming the lower court's decisions.
