Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's Award under the Gujarat Panchayat Act, 1993, which mandated the appellant-Gram Panchayat to make certain daily wage workers permanent safai kamdars and provide them with appropriate wages and benefits. The Court found that the Labour Court had provided sufficient reasoning for its decision, dismissing the appellant's claims of procedural non-compliance and lack of merit in the High Court's dismissal of their appeals. The judgment reinforced the rights of workers to permanency after prolonged service, emphasizing the need for adherence to labor laws.
