Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Patna High Court's dismissal of the appellants' appeal regarding their employment with Futwah Phulwarisharif Gramya Vidyut Sahakari Samiti Ltd., which was under liquidation. The Court noted that the State Government had validly revoked the society's license under Sections 4 and 5 of the Indian Electricity Act, 1910, due to the society's financial mismanagement and inability to fulfill its obligations. The Court held that the employees' claims for absorption into the Bihar State Electricity Board were contingent upon their eligibility and proper appointment, thus affirming the lower court's decision.
