casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: VST Industries Ltd. v. VST Industries Canteen Workers Union Decision: The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal but upheld the canteen workers' employment status. While the Court held that writs under Article 226 do not normally lie against private companies merely providing statutory canteen facilities (as this is a labour welfare device, not a public duty), it declined to disturb the High Court's order given the special circumstances. The Court affirmed that canteen workers are employees of VST Industries entitled to full benefits, finding that VST exercised complete administrative, financial, and disciplinary control over the canteen despite using contractors.
