Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which allowed the writ petitions of Chakrawarti Garg and A.S. Dhir, asserting that there was no qualitative difference between the duties of employees on deputation and those of regular employees in the Haryana State Minor Irrigation Tubewells Corporation. The Court emphasized that the pervasive control of the State of Haryana over the Corporation established its status as a government entity under the Companies Act, 1956. Consequently, the appeals by the Haryana State Minor Irrigation Tubewells Corporation were dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling on the employment status of the respondents.
