The State Of Gujarat vs Pwd And Forest Employees Union

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals by the State of Gujarat against the High Court's judgment regarding the extension of benefits to daily wage workers in the Forest Department as per the Government Resolution dated October 17, 1988. The Court held that the workers are entitled to certain benefits after five years of service but clarified that not all daily wage workers are entitled to regularization or permanency. The Court emphasized the need for a scheme to provide quasi-permanent status to these workers, aligning with previous judgments, thereby upholding the High Court's directives for consideration of their cases.
