Dtc Security Staff Union (Regd.) vs Dtc

The Supreme Court ruled that the Industrial Tribunal's Award granting parity in pay-scales for Security Staff in the Delhi Transport Corporation with their counterparts in the Delhi Police was justified under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the principles of social justice and equal pay for equal work are paramount, and that the Division Bench erred in setting aside the Tribunal's decision without sufficient grounds. The Court reinstated the Tribunal's Award, affirming the rights of the employees to fair compensation based on the nature of their duties.
