MYSORE STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION vs BABAJAN CONDUCTOR & ANR.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order dated 11-9-1964 did not imply that the respondent continued in service with the Mysore Government or became an employee of the newly constituted Road Transport Corporation under the Road Transport Corporation Act, 1950. The Court clarified that the corporation, as a separate legal entity, did not automatically inherit the employees of the abolished department. Consequently, the respondent's claim for continuity of service and benefits was denied, affirming the High Court's decision to allow the option for employment with the corporation but not recognizing prior service continuity.
