INDU SHEKHAR SINGH vs STATE OF U.P. .

Jal Nigam, who were on deputation to the Ghaziabad Development Authority, could not be absorbed into the Development Authorities Centralized Services as per Section 5-A of the Uttar Pradesh Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973. The Court emphasized that since U.P. Jal Nigam is not a development authority, the provisions for absorption do not apply. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision regarding the non-absorption of these employees into the centralized services.
