STATE OF U.P. vs CHANDRA PRAKASH PANDEY

The Supreme Court held that Kurk Amins appointed on a commission basis by District Magistrates in Uttar Pradesh are entitled to be considered as employees of the State Government under Article 311 of the Constitution of India. The Court affirmed the previous High Court ruling that their services could not be terminated without following due process, and directed the State to pay them the regular scale of pay applicable to Kurk Amins in the Revenue Department. The appeals by the State were dismissed, thereby upholding the rights of the Kurk Amins to regular employment benefits.
