NOTIFIED AREA COUNCIL,PIPILI. vs GAHAR MOHAMMAD . — C.A. No. 1267/2001

Summary The Supreme Court allowed the appeals filed by Notified Area Council (NAC), Pipili, setting aside the Orissa High Court's judgment that had quashed the NAC's October 1995 resolution abolishing daily wage worker engagements. The Court held that post abolition is within the employer's power and found no mala fide or arbitrariness. However, the respondents (former daily wage workers) were directed to be considered for future vacancies as daily-rated or regular employees on priority basis with age bar waived, with no back-wages awarded.
