JAI JAI RAM AND OTHERS vs THE U.P. STATE ROAD TRANSPORTCORPORATION, LUCKNOW AND OTHER

The Supreme Court ruled that disciplinary action against government servants on deputation to the U.P. State Road Transport Corporation could only be taken by their original appointing authority, as the State remained their employer. The Court held that the Corporation lacked the competence to initiate such actions against these employees, affirming the tribunal's decision that the State continued to be the employer. This judgment clarifies the limits of authority for disciplinary actions in the context of deputation under Article 309 of the Constitution.
