Oil And Natural Gas Corporation vs Krishan Gopal

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning the regularization of workmen across various High Courts, emphasizing the significance of the judgment in Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited v Petroleum Coal Labour Union under Article 226 of the Constitution. The Court held that while some High Courts granted regularization based on the PCLU decision, the Madras High Court distinguished it, asserting that the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 must be followed. The outcome varied, with some appeals allowing regularization and others rejecting it based on procedural grounds.
