Milind Nandkumar Kulkarni and Ors. v. Kirloskar Ebara Pumps Ltd.
Case brief
What is this about?
Contract workers challenged Labour Court awards rejecting their references for reinstatement against the principal employer on the ground that no employer-employee relationship existed with it and the contractors were necessary parties. The High Court found the workmen failed the tests for such relationship, including admissions in cross-examination, and dismissed both petitions.
What did the court decide?
None granted; writ petitions dismissed without costs, rule discharged, civil and interim applications disposed.
