The Supreme Court addressed the issue of regularization of term-based employees appointed by ONGC between 1999 and 2001, under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court upheld the Industrial Tribunal's award, which partially allowed the regularization of certain employees while excluding others based on specific criteria, including those who had completed 240 days of work and those whose terms were not extended. The Court emphasized the need for adherence to procedural fairness in employment practices, particularly the requirement for public advertisement prior to appointments.
