Mekha Ram vs The State Of Rajasthan

The Supreme Court overturned the Rajasthan High Court's decision regarding the treatment of a three-year Nursing Course for in-service candidates. The High Court had ruled that this period should not be considered as deputation but merely as leave, allowing the state to recover excess payments made to the candidates. The Supreme Court found this interpretation incorrect and reinstated the previous judgments that recognized the training period as valid service, thereby protecting the candidates' financial entitlements.
