Krishan Kumar Madan vs Ashok Kumar

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Uttarakhand High Court, affirming that the appellants, initially appointed by the State of Uttar Pradesh, remained employees of Uttar Pradesh and were not entitled to claim employment status in Uttarakhand. The Court noted that the appellants had exercised their option to serve in Uttarakhand but the transfer was contingent upon mutual consent, which was not adequately established. The Court emphasized the importance of proper procedural adherence in employee transfers under the Uttar Pradesh Reorganization Act, 2000.
