Judgment text excerpt
The case examines whether a state government possesses the power and competence to frame rules and regulations governing the service conditions of employees working in government corporations established under the Companies Act. The dispute specifically arises from a change in the criteria for determining seniority for promotion to the post of senior deputy manager. The Supreme Court is reviewing a judgment from the Madras High Court regarding the legality of the state's interference in the administrative functions of these corporate entities.
