Kamal Prashar vs National Airport Authority & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the transfer of employees from the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to the National Airport Authority (NAA) under Section 13(3) of the National Airport Authority Act, 1985. The Court held that employees who expressed their intention to remain with the DGCA were not to be absorbed by the NAA, thus affirming the appellant's right to continue his service with the DGCA. The judgment clarified the interpretation of 'deputation' and the conditions under which employees could opt out of absorption into the NAA, leading to the dismissal of the appeals against the High Court's orders.
