Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in issuing an interim order restraining the Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation Ltd. from appointing new contractual employees, as there was no employer-employee relationship between the original writ petitioner and the Corporation. The Court emphasized that the petitioner was hired through a contractor and that there was no sanctioned post for a Computer Operator within the Corporation. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's interim order due to lack of justification and consideration of the facts presented.
