Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the Union of India to regularize the services of Casual Paid Labourers and extend benefits akin to regular employees under labor laws. The court emphasized the need for fair treatment of casual workers and the obligation of the state to ensure their rights are protected. The appeal by the Union of India was dismissed, affirming the High Court's mandate for the implementation of a regularization scheme.
