Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted the service conditions of employees under the Haryana State Electricity Board, specifically addressing the requirement for passing the Departmental Accounts Examination for confirmation and increments. The Court held that the respondent's failure to appear for the examination as mandated by the Manual of Orders resulted in the non-confirmation of his service and denial of increments. The judgment emphasized that adherence to the prescribed rules is essential for the benefits of confirmation and increments, thereby upholding the decision of the lower court.
