Authority: High Court of Judicature at Bombay, Civil Appellate Jurisdiction
Order Date: 24 September 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioner: Mahmmadali Niyamat Shaikh, a Badli (temporary) worker, filed Writ Petition No.12501 of 2026 against Respondent Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd., Pune.
- The petition challenged the order dated 30 March 2026 passed by the Member, Industrial Court, Pune, which rejected the petitioner's application (Exhibit‑U‑2) for interim relief to continue service beyond the age of 58 years.
- Petitioner argued that Badli workers are entitled to service continuity up to the age of 60 years and sought consequential backwages.
- The Industrial Court had found no record indicating such entitlement and therefore denied the interim relief.
Final Outcome
- Justice Sandeep V. Marne held that a Badli worker is not statutorily entitled to service continuation beyond 58 years and that no case was made out for interim relief.
- The High Court affirmed the Industrial Court’s decision, rejected the writ petition, and declined to grant any backwages or other relief.
