Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that employees of Avas Vikas Sansthan (AVS) are entitled to reemployment and various reliefs, emphasizing that the AVS acted as an agent of the State Government and Rajasthan Housing Board. The Court ruled that the termination of services of the employees was invalid as they were entitled to retain their past service benefits. The judgment reinforced the principle that employees cannot be arbitrarily terminated by an entity acting under state authority without due process.
