Case History
Case Summary: Himmat Singh v. I.C.I. India Ltd. (2008) The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, upholding the Labour Court's finding that 61 contract workers engaged by licensed contractors were not entitled to be declared permanent employees of ICI India Ltd. The Court held that workers cannot take contradictory positions by first claiming contractor status in regulatory proceedings and then asserting principal employer status—common law principles of estoppel apply in industrial adjudication.
