INTENGRATED RURAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY vs RAM PYARE PANDEY

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the termination of the respondent's service as Junior Clerk by the Integrated Rural Development Agency was illegal, violating Rule 13(b) of the agency's Articles of Association, which mandates that termination requires one month's notice. The Court emphasized that the respondent's appointment, although temporary, could not be terminated without following the prescribed procedure. Consequently, the Court directed the appellant to reinstate the respondent and pay arrears of salary from the date of termination.
