M.D.,M/S T.Nadu Magnesite Ltd vs S.Manickam & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of employment transfer under the Tamil Nadu Magnesite Limited Service Rules, specifically Clause 2.14, which allows for termination due to excess cadre strength. The Court held that the respondents' transfer to the Joint Venture Company (JVC) was valid as it did not alter their service conditions or seniority. However, the Court emphasized the need for clarity in employment terms and the right to revert back to the original employer when the JVC was closed, thereby reinforcing the principle of job security under service law.
