The Chairman,Gwalior Devt.Auth.& Anr vs Sandeep Tiwari & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the respondents, who were appointed without following legal procedures, are not entitled to backwages. The Court found no justification for the High Court's decision to grant 50% backwages, as it lacked reasoning. Consequently, the directions for payment of backwages were set aside, and the appeals were allowed with no order as to costs.
