The Supreme Court upheld the termination of the appellant's services by the Delhi State Mineral Development Corporation under sub-rule (1) of Rule 5 of the Central Civil Services (Temporary Service) Rules, 1965, and Rule 7(ii) of the Staff Service Rules of DSIDC, 1978. The Court found that the appellant, being a temporary employee, had no right to continue in service after the abolition of his post. The High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was affirmed, establishing that temporary employees can be terminated without the right to redeployment under the applicable rules.
