In case the institution is taken over, only then the employees/ministerial staff working therein are liable to be taken over. 2. Accordingly, there is no merit in this petition and the same is dismissed, so also the pending application(s), if any. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma) Judge 13th September, 2010.
