In Brief
This appeal concerns a gallery attendant whose employment status was contested. The single judge had ruled the appellant was entitled to benefits of continuity of service. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, modifying the lower court's order: the appellant is reinstated with continuity of service from his initial appointment as a full-time gallery attendant, but without back wages for the period he did not work. He is entitled to receive differential salary (if any) between the full-time and part-time posts going forward, except for the period already covered by the Division Bench judgment.
