WITH
2. Having regard to the nature of work, for which
the respondents-workmen were engaged and having
regard to the submission that the project is already
over, we are of the view that the interest of justice
would be met if a lumpsum compensation is awarded to JUDGMENT
the workmen.
3. Therefore, in full and final settlement of all
the claims available to the respondents-workmen in
respect of their daily waged engagement under the
appellant, the respondents-workmen shall be paid
compensation to the tune of Rs. 3,00,000/- (Rupees
Three Lakhs) each.
4. We make it clear that in case, the appellant-BSNL
engages any fresh daily wagers, the
respondents-workmen shall be given preference.
5. The compensation shall be paid within six weeks
from today.
6. With the above observations and directions, the
appeals are disposed of.

2. We are informed that the respondent-workman has

been working in the appellant-establishment for the

in view of the fact that the respondent-workman is

engaged as a Driver.

3. The appeal is, accordingly, dismissed.
