Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the Appellant's services as a full-time Gallery Attendant was unjustified, as he had been appointed against a sanctioned post and had the requisite qualifications at the time of his appointment. The Court emphasized that the Appellant's right to reinstatement and continuity of service was protected under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. The judgment of the Gujarat High Court was set aside, and the Appellant was entitled to reinstatement with all benefits.
