STATE OF CHHATTISGARH vs KARISHNA KUMAR KASHYAP

The Supreme Court held that the classification made by the learned Single Judge of the High Court between workmen with ten years of service and those with less than ten years was not sustainable under law. The Court emphasized that the relevant consideration is whether the workman had completed 240 days of continuous service within a year, correcting the legal error identified by the Division Bench. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the Labour Court's award.
