Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Patna High Court's dismissal of the appellants' appeal against the rejection of their writ petitions concerning employment with the Futwah Phulwarisharif Gramya Vidyut Sahakari Samiti Ltd. The Court found that the revocation of the Society's license under Sections 4 and 5 of the Indian Electricity Act, 1910 was valid due to the Society's financial mismanagement and inability to fulfill its obligations. The Court held that the State Government's actions were justified and the employees' claims for absorption by the Bihar State Electricity Board were not legally enforceable.
