Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that employees of the Municipal Corporation cannot claim a right to transfer municipal quarters based on resolutions passed by the Corporation that were objected to by the Municipal Commissioner. The Court emphasized that the resolutions lacked legal validity due to the specific provisions of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957, particularly Section 200(d), which restricts such transfers. Consequently, the Court upheld the objections raised by the Municipal Commissioner, affirming the legality of his actions in preventing the transfer of property.
