Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the advertisement for the post of Project Director in the Child Labour Elimination & Rehabilitation Society, affirming that the respondent, a temporary employee, had a right to join the Society after her repatriation from another department. The Court found that the delay in filing the writ petition did not bar her claim, as her previous appointment was not based on a public advertisement. The appeal by the appellants was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that temporary employees retain certain rights upon repatriation.
