Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of inter se seniority between employees of the Development Authority and the Municipal Corporation under the U.P. Urban Planning & Development Act, 1973. The Court interpreted Section 5(2) and Section 59(3) of the Act, establishing that employees transferred to the Development Authority retain their seniority and service conditions as per their previous employment. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the continuity of service and seniority for the employees involved in the transition to the Development Authority.
