Description
Under the constitutional scheme relating to public services, Articles 14 to 16 of the Constitution enshrine that there shall be equality of opportunity for all citizens in matters relating to employment or appointment to any office under the State. No citizen shall on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth, residence or any of them, be ineligible for, or discriminated against in respect of any employment or office under the State. The State shall not discriminate between 'He' and 'She' and all persons should be similarly situated. Any unjustified denial of employment or appointment or discrimination between similarly situated persons is not palliative to Articles 14, 15 and 16 of the Constitution, in judicial review would be set at naught and State action would be struck down. "Soonavala's Supreme Court on Service Law" is a unique compilation of the decisions of the Supreme Court right from 1950 till date on service matters. All service matters, conditions of service viz. recruitment, selection, reservation, appointments, compassionate appointments, apprentices, probationers, promotion, seniority, correction of date of birth, age relaxation, departmental examination, transfers, retirement, compulsory retirement, disciplinary proceedings, punishment of dismissal, removal, termination, reinstatement, resignation, leave matters, payment of gratuity, retiral benefits, pension, recoveries from public servants, allotment of official accommodation, scope of judicial review by courts in service matters etc. have been arranged thematically under comprehensive headings for easy reference of the readers. The first edition of this book was published in the year 1961 covering subjects relating to service matters for Industrial as well as Government Services. In the present edition a special attempt has been made to enlarge the areas on laws relating to Government Services in a systematic and classifying manner. Further attempt is also being made to bring out other volumes on subject matters relating to other Industrial Adjudications, Industrial Matters, Profit Bonus, Strikes and Lock-outs, Termination of Service, Labour Laws, Appeals and Writ Petitions, etc.
