RBI employees aren’t government servants: Madras HC
The Madras High Court has observed that the employees of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cannot be referred to as “government servants” while identifying their employment status.
The Division Bench, comprising of Justice K.K. Sasidharan and Justice P.D. Audikesavulu, said: “The fact that the central government has persuasive control over RBI would not make its employee’s central government employees…
“It is true that the RBI is a state within the meaning of Article 12 of the Constitution of India. Even then it cannot be said that its employees are all regular Government employees.”
