                                      (M. M. Dutt, E. S. Vankataramiah JJ)

                                                      07.05.1987

                                                        ORDER

Shri A. K. Ganguli, learned counsel for the Union of India submits that Article 311 of the
Constitution is applicable to the Staff Artists of the All India Radio. We are of the view that the
statement made on behalf of the government represents the true legal position because the Staff
Artists are holding civil posts under the government. In view of the above statement, this appeal
filed against the judgment of the High Court of Allahabad in Special Appeal No. 258 of 1974 which
has also taken the view that Article 311 is applicable to those Staff Artists has to be dismissed. This
appeal is accordingly dismissed. No costs.
