The Hyderabad High Court has made it clear that in the matter of disciplinary proceedings a differential treatment cannot be meted out to an accused contract employee from regular employees of an organisation. “Even if the petitioner accused is treated as a purely temporary contract employee, she/he is entitled to protection under Article 311 (2) of the Constitution as in the case of permanent government servants if her/his services are sought to be terminated on the ground of misconduct.” Justice CV Nagarjuna Reddy made these observations on a writ petition filed by a woman questioning the proceedings of the AP Women’s Co-operative Finance Corporation terminating her services as district manager (temporary) under contract employment.
