Bharatiya Gramin Punarrachana Sanstha vs Vijay Kumar And Ors.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the Tribunal's order for the reinstatement of the first respondent as Lab Attendant, with 75% back wages, under the Bombay Public Trusts Act. The Court found no merit in the appellant's argument regarding the reservation of the post for Scheduled Tribe candidates, as the appointment was validly approved for the academic year 1997-98. The Court clarified that the temporary nature of the appointment did not preclude reinstatement, thus affirming the Tribunal's decision.
