Govts Engaging Temporary Workers For Long Periods Unfair; 'Uma Devi' Judgment Being Misapplied Against Long-Serving Workers : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled on the issue of the Delhi-Noida flyway toll, stating that no entity should be allowed unjust enrichment at the cost of public suffering. The court addressed the excessive toll charges imposed on commuters using the flyway and found that the toll charges were disproportionate and unfair. It emphasized that public infrastructure should not be used to enrich private entities while burdening the public. The court ordered that steps should be taken to ensure the toll rates are reasonable and do not cause undue hardship to the public. This ruling aligns with the principle that the state and private entities should act in the public interest and ensure fairness in charges for public services.
