PANKI THERMAL POWER STATION . vs VIDYUT MAZDOOR SANGATHAN — C.A. No. 1734/2004

Summary: The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted both interconnected writ petitions back to the High Court for joint consideration. The core issue in both petitions was whether certain workers at Panki Thermal Power Station were contract labourers or employees of the corporation. The appellant's writ petition had been dismissed while the respondent's remained pending; the Court found the matters interlinked and directed the High Court to dispose of both petitions together within six months, without expressing any opinion on merits.
