Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellants, who were temporary pump operators transferred to the Calcutta Municipal Corporation, were entitled to be treated as fitter drivers from the date of their transfer, as per the High Court's directive. The Court emphasized the need for proper interpretation of previous orders and upheld the High Court's decision that the appellants should receive all service benefits accordingly. The appeal by the Corporation was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling and ensuring compliance with the order within three months.
