SUNIL KUMAR VERMA vs STATE OF U.P..

The Supreme Court ruled that the U.P. Absorption of Retrenched Employees of Government or Public Corporations in Government Service Rules, 1991, provided rights to retrenched employees, which crystallized before the rescission of the rules on 8th April 2003. The Court held that the delay by the government in considering the employees' claims could not be used as a justification to deny their absorption. Consequently, the Court directed the authorities to consider the claims of the retrenched employees for absorption under the 1991 Rules, despite the rules being rescinded.
