casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: IRCON International Ltd. v. Daya Shankar Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed IRCON's appeal and set aside the High Court's orders. The Court rejected directions to treat Daya Shankar as a permanent employee, ruling that project-based appointments do not automatically continue after project completion. Key Facts: Daya Shankar was appointed as a Khalasi on IRCON's Ballast Project without a formal appointment letter. After transfer to Head Office in 1988, he was retrenched in 1992 with compensation under the Industrial Disputes Act. Court's Ruling: The Court held the High Court's Single Judge exceeded authority by directing permanent employment status, which went beyond IRCON's 1997 undertaking to consider retrenched workers for future vacancies. The respondent will be considered for appointment only when vacancies arise, in accordance with seniority.
