State Of Uttaranchal vs Alok Sharma & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the Uttar Pradesh Absorption of Retrenched Employees of Government of Public Corporations in Government Services Rules, 1991, particularly Rule 2(c) defining 'retrenched employee' and Rule 3(1) regarding the absorption of such employees. The Court held that the respondents, except for two, were appointed after the cut-off date of October 1, 1986, and thus did not qualify for absorption under the Rules. The absence of a notified order from the State Government for the absorption of retrenched employees was also noted, leading to the dismissal of the appeals.
