Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the employee, Seethal Kumar Vaish, was in substantive employment with the Ram Ganga Command Area Development Project and not an employee of the Kanpur Sakkari Milk Board Limited. The Court emphasized the importance of consistent stands by authorities in employment matters and ruled that the shifting positions taken by the Milk Board regarding the employee's status were unjustified. The judgment of the High Court was upheld, confirming the employee's rights and status in employment.
