Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the employment status of Smt. Sugna Devi, who claimed to be an Assistant Teacher under the Basic Shiksha Parishad. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that her service was transferred under Section 9(1) of UP Act No 34/1927, emphasizing the obligation of the Basic Education Board to provide reasons for not recognizing her service. The Court found that the Tribunal's rejection of her claim based on delay was erroneous, as her cause of action was ongoing due to recurring salary payments. Consequently, the Court affirmed her entitlement to service benefits.
