EMPLOYER I.R.TO MGMT.OF G.C.OF M/S.BCCL vs THEIR WORKMEN REP.BY BIHAR COLL.K.UNION — C.A. No. 2503/2001

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed BCCL's appeal on March 30, 2001, setting aside the High Court's order that had upheld regularization of 11 workers. The Court held that since these workers were medically found to be under-age at the time of their 1973 appointment, and mining regulations prohibit under-age workers, their regularization could not be sustained merely because they had since attained age 30. The workers had only worked 75 days during 1973-75 and were not thereafter employed. Costs were awarded to the parties.
