Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant, a Technical Mate, was entitled to absorption as a skilled Artisan in Grade III under the Railway Board's communication, which allowed for the absorption of casual labourers with requisite qualifications. The Court found the Chairman of the Railway Board's refusal to grant relief based on the non-existence of a Technical Mate post to be incorrect, emphasizing that the appellant's long service and diploma qualification warranted her absorption. The appeal was allowed, directing appropriate relief to be granted to the appellant.
