Abdul Muhammed Rasheed v. State of Kerala
Kerala HCWA/4/2019
Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Transfer of university self-financing institutions to a society did not justify terminating permanent employees. Most appeals succeeded, restoring service, back wages and protected pay, subject to lawful retrenchment. Three appeals and some claims were dismissed. The court upheld the institutional transfer but rejected parity with department faculty for retirement at 60.
What did the court decide?
For successful appellants, terminations set aside; uninterrupted service, full back wages and protected pay restored, with directions for deployment or lawful compensated retrenchment.
