Authority: Supreme Court of India

Order Date: 28-09-2026

Case Overview

  • Petitioners: State of U.P. & Ors.; Respondents: Committee of Management of Multi Purpose Primary Rural Co‑operative Society Ltd. & Ors., including respondents numbered 3 and 4 (employees).
  • The petition is a Special Leave Petition (C) No.33854/2026 arising from the Allahabad High Court’s final judgment and order dated 03‑09‑2026 in WRIC No.14599/2025.
  • The dispute concerns the legality of appointments of a large number of employees; the High Court had allowed salary payment only to respondents 3 and 4 as an interim measure, rejecting interim relief for other allegedly illegally appointed employees.
  • Counsel argued that many employees were illegally appointed, but the Supreme Court limited its consideration to the two respondents.

Final Outcome

  • The Supreme Court declined to interfere with the High Court order and upheld the salary payment to respondents 3 and 4 as an interim measure.
  • The Court directed the High Court to take up the related writ petition for early disposal.
  • Petitioners may approach the High Court after complying with the impugned order to seek vacation or modification of that order.
  • The Special Leave Petition is disposed of, and any pending applications are ordered disposed.
