SATISH CHANDRA ANAND vs THE UNION OF INDIA.

The Supreme Court ruled that the termination of the petitioner's temporary employment did not violate his fundamental rights under Articles 14, 16(1), and 311 of the Constitution. The Court held that Article 311 was inapplicable as the case did not involve dismissal or removal, but rather a contractual termination with notice. It further clarified that the petitioner was not discriminated against under Article 14 and was treated equally under Article 16, as he accepted the terms of temporary employment. The State is permitted to enter into contracts of temporary employment with specific terms, binding both parties.
