Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the Food Corporation of India (FCI) to consider the regularization of the services of respondents who claimed to be casual employees. The Court noted that the respondents had worked for FCI under a contractor and were entitled to regularization based on the doctrine of 'equal pay for equal work' as established in prior judgments. The appeal by FCI was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to absorb the respondents into available vacant posts.
