casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: NTPC Ltd v. K. Pothu Raju (2003) The Supreme Court dismissed NTPC's appeal and upheld the High Court's order directing regularization of canteen workers. The Court held that since NTPC had a statutory obligation under Section 46 of the Factories Act, 1948 to maintain a canteen, workers employed by contractors to run the canteen must be treated as NTPC's own employees, subject to fulfilling eligibility criteria regarding age, medical fitness, and service requirements.
