Continuity of Service Not Sufficient for Regularisation under Industrial Disputes Act | DTC Workman Award Quashed : Delhi HC
Delhi HC set aside the 2005 Industrial Tribunal award that regularised a DTC driver, holding that mere continuity of service does not create a right to regularisation. The decision means employers need a statutory basis, not just tenure, to regularise temporary staff, affecting public-sector transport bodies and their workmen.
