Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the Gujarat Panchayats Act, 1961, particularly Section 203, which regulates the Panchayat Service. The Court held that the provisions under this section are constitutional and provide a framework for the classification and conditions of service for employees in the Panchayat system. The judgment of the High Court was upheld, affirming the allocation of municipal staff to the Panchayat Service as per the Act.
