Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether Lab Assistants could be re-designated as Demonstrators, thereby entitling them to benefits and promotions. The Court upheld the earlier decisions, including a Patna High Court ruling and a Supreme Court judgment, which recognized the status of Laboratory Instructors as part of the teaching staff. The Court directed the State Government to reconsider the representation of the Lab Assistants in light of these precedents, emphasizing the qualifications of the appellants and the lack of a counter-affidavit from the State.
