District Rehabilitation Officer & Ors vs Jay Kishore Maity & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of employment terms for workers in a rehabilitation project funded by the Union of India, determining that despite the Central Government's financial involvement, the employees were governed by the terms applicable to State Government employees. The Court held that the employees' claims for Central Government service conditions were not valid, as the project was executed through State Government mechanisms. The judgment clarified the distinction between Central and State employment terms under the relevant administrative framework.
