Chennai Port Trust Industrial vs Union Of India on 24 August, 2005
29. I had an occasion to deal with W.P.No.10907 of 1998 (Order dated
17.6.2004) - (TUTICORIN PORT TRUST DEMOCRATIC STAFF UNION Vs. TUTICORIN PORT
TRUST) in which also, the very same issues arose for consideration. After
considering the background in which the canteen came to be established and the
manner of control exercised by the Tuticorin Port Trust, the prayer of the
petitioner Union was accepted and the writ petition was allowed, holding that
the employees who have been made permanent by the Management after 18.8.1995
should also be absorbed and be made permanent employees of the Port Trust.
