BASIC SHIKSHA PARISHAD, UP vs SUGNA DEVI

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that Smt. Sugna Devi was an employee of the Basic Shiksha Parishad, relying on Section 9(1) of UP Act No 34/1927, which mandates the transfer of staff from Zila Parishad to Basic Shiksha Parishad. The Court found that the Basic Shiksha Parishad failed to provide valid reasons for not recognizing her service and that the High Court correctly noted the lack of dispute from the Zila Parishad regarding her employment. Consequently, the Tribunal's rejection of her claim was set aside, affirming her continued service status.
