D.R. YADAV vs R.K. SINGH

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of inter se seniority between employees of the Development Authority constituted under the U.P. Urban Planning & Development Act, 1973. The Court held that the provisions of Section 59 of the Act, particularly Sub-sections (1) and (3), govern the transfer of posts and employees from the Municipal Corporation to the Development Authority, thereby establishing that the employees retain their tenure, remuneration, and conditions of service. The Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the seniority dispute, affirming the legal framework established by the 1973 Act.
