PRINCIPAL SECY.,TRAINIGN & EMP.DEPTT. vs VIRENDER SINGH KHATRI .

The Supreme Court held that the Division Bench of the High Court erred in treating the order of the learned Single Judge as interim, as it directed the Secretary, Training & Employment to ensure suitable appointments for terminated employees of Kumtron Ltd. The Court clarified that the letter dated 17/4/1998 did not guarantee employment as a right but only assured consideration during new recruitment. The Court set aside both the Division Bench and Single Judge's orders, directing the appellant to submit a reply in the pending writ petition for a fresh order on the stay application.
