UNION OF INDIA vs INDULAL JOSHI

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in granting pay protection to the respondent in Group 'C' posts, as the scheme formulated in 1993 for casual labour only provided for temporary status in Group 'D' cadre posts. The Court clarified that no scheme exists for the protection of Group 'C' posts, leading to the conclusion that the High Court's order was not sustainable. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and allowed the appeal.
