Orders
Summary The High Court at Calcutta (Port Blair Circuit Bench) modified a lower court judgment, directing the Union of India to approve a regularization scheme for Daily Rated Mazdoors (casual workers) within 90 days. The court held that while the Union wasn't party to earlier proceedings, it became bound through its tacit acceptance of the scheme by disbursing ₹300 crore, and that the approval isn't merely a policy decision but a constitutional obligation to ensure equality among workers performing regular functions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
