NAND KUMAR vs STATE OF BIHAR .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision rejecting the absorption of daily wage employees under the Bihar Agriculture Produce Market (Repeal) Act, 2006, specifically interpreting Section 6 which distinguishes between daily wage and regular employees. The Court clarified that the appellants, having worked on a daily wage basis, do not fall under the category of 'all officers and employees' as per the Act. The Court found no violation of natural justice in the decision to relieve the daily wage employees from service, affirming the authority of the State Government under Section 5 of the Repeal Act.
