DELHI WATER SUPPLY AND SEWAGE DISPOSALCOMMITTEE AND ORS. vs R.K. KASHYAP AND OR8.

The Supreme Court held that the Delhi Municipal Corporation Service Regulation 1959 does not apply to the employees of the Delhi Water Supply and Sewage Disposal Undertaking, as their salaries are not charged to the General Account of the Municipal Fund. The Court ruled that seniority among Executive Engineers should be determined based on continuous officiation in the post until regularization, rather than inter se seniority in the lower cadre of Assistant Engineers. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that continuous service is the proper basis for seniority determination.
