SATYA NARAIN PAREEK vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, a permanent employee of the Technical Education Department, retained his lien in the parent department despite being temporarily transferred to the Transport Department. The Court clarified that under the 1951 Rules, a lien cannot be suspended during such deputation, and thus the appellant's claim of permanent absorption in the Transport Department was misconceived. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal was therefore dismissed, affirming the appellant's right to return to his original department.
