What the Court ordered

We are of the considered view that the legislature cou ld not have intended a situation, wherein though the post of AMC is created by the State Government and a suitable person is appointed by it and though a person appointed on the said post becomes an empl oyee of the 477 Corporation, there would be no provision in the statute to initiate departmental proceedings against him.
