Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that under Section 115 of the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, the Central Government has the authority to determine whether the State Government has altered conditions of service. The Court held that the Central Government's order dated December 24, 1965, which invalidated the Andhra Pradesh Government's retrospective regularization of certain appointments, was valid as it adhered to the principles of natural justice. The outcome affirmed the Central Government's decision regarding the integration of services and seniority of officers from Andhra and Telangana.
