U.P. STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD vs POORAN CHANDRA PANDEY . — C.A. No. 3765/2001

Case Summary: U.P. State Electricity Board v. Pooran Chandra Pandey The Supreme Court dismissed the Electricity Board's appeal, affirming that 34 daily wage employees of a cooperative society taken over by the Board in 1997 were entitled to regularization benefits under the Board's 1996 policy. The Court held that since employees were absorbed "in the same manner and position," they should be treated as having continuous service without discrimination, and denying regularization would violate Article 14 (equality) of the Constitution.
