STATE OF U.P. 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, emphasizing the principle of 'last come first go' as per the directions of the learned Single Judge. The Court noted that the State's termination of services was arbitrary and directed the State to prepare a list of employees for either daily wage or regular employment based on their initial engagement. The appeal by the State was dismissed, reinforcing the rights of the employees under Article 21 of the Constitution.
