SC leaves public servant question in Chitra Ramkrishna case to trial court
The Supreme Court has refused to step into the Chitra Ramkrishna case. It upheld a Delhi High Court order that lets the former NSE (National Stock Exchange) MD and CEO challenge her classification as a 'public servant' before the trial court. So the question stays with the trial court, not the top court. If you hold a senior post in a regulated body, watch this space.
