Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the termination of the respondent's contract as a driver in the Agriculture Department of Rajasthan. The court found that the respondent's engagement was temporary and contingent upon the availability of the regular employee, whose return led to the cessation of the respondent's services. The court emphasized the legality of the contractual arrangement and the authority of the State to terminate such contracts when the regular employee resumes duty.
