In Brief
The State of Madhya Pradesh appealed against an order treating the respondent, Kumari Arati Saxena, as a permanent employee. The Labour Court had found that the respondent had served as a temporary employee for over six months, which under the applicable Standing Order made her eligible for permanent status. The Supreme Court held that this finding of fact was undisputed and the Labour Court's conclusion was not perverse. The Court disposed of the appeal, affirming that the permanent status already accorded could not be disturbed.
