Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Division Bench which set aside the Single Judge's order directing the State Government to facilitate the re-employment of the appellant, who had resigned from his position as Reader/Court Master. The Court established that once a resignation is accepted, the employee cannot claim reinstatement unless there is a specific provision in service rules allowing for re-employment, which was not found in this case. The Court also noted that the appellant's claim of discriminatory treatment under Article 14 was not substantiated as the cited instances of re-employment did not establish a legal entitlement to such relief.
