State Of U.P. & Ors vs Parmanand Shukla (D) Thr. Lrs

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the reinstatement of daily wage muster roll employees of the Irrigation Department under the principle of 'last come first go'. The Court noted that the State of U.P. had repeatedly terminated the services of these employees without due process, violating their rights to fair treatment in employment. The Court dismissed the appeal filed by the State, thereby reinforcing the legal principle that employees engaged for a significant duration cannot be arbitrarily terminated without just cause or due process.
