B.S.N.L vs Mohd. Jamey & Anr

Bench: 2 — Kurian

In Brief

In this case, BSNL appealed against an order involving a workman who had been employed as a Driver for 13 years. The Supreme Court declined to exercise its appellate jurisdiction, finding it inappropriate to interfere given the lengthy period of continuous employment. The Court did not delve into the substantive merits of the workers' compensation dispute, emphasizing instead equitable considerations regarding job security for long-serving employees. The appeal was dismissed without costs.
