Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the term 'previous approval' in Section 115(7) of the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, implies a general approval for variations in service conditions, as per Article 309 of the Constitution. The Court ruled that the Mysore General Services Recruitment Rules, 1959, were valid as they were made with the necessary approval, and the petitioner’s claims regarding loss of service benefits and increments were dismissed. The Court also found no violation of Articles 16 and 311(2) of the Constitution in the petitioner's reversion and promotion process.
