On that reading, Rule 4(4) of the Sikkim Government Establishment Rules, 1974 remained operative despite adaptation and later adoption under Article 309. The Court also noted that the special constitutional settlement for Sikkim, read with Article 16(3), sustained a preference for Sikkimese nationals or locals in public employment; the resulting termination of non-local employees was therefore not held unconstitutional under Articles 14 and 16. The High Court decision was found unsustainable and the writ petitions were dismissed. en-us Tue, 19 Apr 1994 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 11:47:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168395 Article 371-F(k) was construed to preserve pre-merger subordinate legislation in Sikkim, including service rules governing public employment, as existing law during constitutional integration.
