The Supreme Court awarded a lumpsum compensation of Rs. 3,00,000 to each of the respondents-workmen in full and final settlement of their claims regarding daily wage engagement with BSNL, emphasizing the completion of the project and the nature of work. The Court directed that if BSNL engages new daily wagers, the respondents should be given preference. The compensation is to be paid within six weeks, and the appeals were disposed of without costs.
