Supreme Court in Tamil Nadu Medical Services Corporation Limited vs. Tamil Nadu Medical Services Corporation Employees Welfare Union &Anr. (CA No. 6511/2024), clarified that the exemption from the applicability of the TN Permanent Status to Workmen Act is limited to workmen engaged in construction activities, and establishments and their workers exclusively involved in construction qualify for this exemption. However, in the present case, the mere engagement of the establishment (being the Corporation) in construction does not exempt it from responsibilities under the TN Permanent Status to Workmen Act. The Court clarified that construction constitutes only one facet of its varied activities and exempting all workers from the TN Permanent Status to Workmen Act, especially those not directly engaged in construction like the union members, would be unjustified.
