Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that Kurk Amins appointed on a commission basis by District Magistrates in Uttar Pradesh are to be considered employees of the State under Article 311 of the Constitution of India. The Court upheld the principle established in previous judgments that these individuals are entitled to the same salary and conditions of service as regular Kurk Amins in the Revenue Department. Consequently, the Court affirmed the High Court's decision to grant them regular pay scales and arrears, thereby reinforcing their status as government employees.
