Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of employment continuity for employees of the Bihar Intermediate Education Council following its repeal under the Bihar Intermediate Education Council (Repeal) Act, 2007. The Court emphasized that under Section 3 of the Repeal Act, employees are to remain in employment and receive their salaries until a final decision is made by the State Government. The Court held that the failure to implement the resolution regarding the adjustment of employees, as per the criteria established in the case of State of Karnataka v. Uma Devi, was unjustified, thereby reinforcing the rights of employees with over ten years of service.
