SHRI DHARAM PAL & ORS. vs THE FOOD CORPORATION OF INDIA & ORS.

The Supreme Court, in a petition under Article 32, addressed the legality of the formation of an Accounts Cadre in the Food Corporation of India as per the notifications issued in 1977. The Court held that the formation of the Accounts Cadre was valid and did not violate any statutory provisions, thereby dismissing the petitioners' claims for quashing the circulars and notifications related to the cadre formation. The Court emphasized the authority of the Food Corporation under the Food Corporation Act, 1964 to make such administrative decisions.
