Nand Kumar vs State Of Bihar & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the validity of the High Court's decision rejecting the absorption of daily wage employees under Section 6 of the Bihar Agriculture Produce Market (Repeal) Act, 2006. The Court held that daily wage employees do not fall within the definition of 'all officers and employees' as per Section 6(i) of the Repeal Act, thus affirming the High Court's ruling. The Court emphasized that the distinction between daily wage and regular employees is maintained under the Act, and the appellants' claims were found to be arbitrary and not in violation of natural justice principles.
