Yash Pal & Ors vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court, while adjudicating a writ petition under Article 32, addressed the grievances of 29 casual labour porters employed by the Indian Army, who sought regularization and minimum pay benefits. The Court referenced Section 3(o) of the Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007, and the principles established in Secretary, State of Karnataka v. Uma Devi, emphasizing the need for regularization of services for those who have worked for ten years or more in sanctioned posts. The Court held that the Union of India should take steps to regularize such employees and ensure regular recruitment for vacant posts, thereby granting relief to the petitioners.
