SHRI RAMESH KUMAR vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal's order regarding the termination of a casual worker's service. The Court held that the appellant's termination was not arbitrary as he failed to apply for absorption after the winding up of the Central Organisation for Operations and Information System, while his junior was absorbed due to availability of positions. The Court emphasized that the principle of non-discrimination does not apply when the employee did not avail the opportunity provided for regularization.
