Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Industrial Tribunal under Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which ruled that 955 employees working for the Food Corporation of India (FCI) were entitled to regularization of their services. The Court found that the FCI failed to provide evidence supporting its claim that these employees were not directly employed by them but rather by a contract labourers' society. The Court affirmed the Tribunal's order, emphasizing the need for fair treatment of workers and the importance of evidence in employment disputes.
