STATE OF HARYANA vs PIARA SINGH .

The Supreme Court addressed the regularisation of ad hoc and temporary employees under Articles 14, 16, and 309 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the High Court's directions for regularisation were justified, as the conditions set by the State Governments were arbitrary and discriminatory. The Court affirmed the need for fair treatment in service matters, allowing for the regularisation of employees who had completed one year of service, thereby upholding the principle of equal pay for equal work.
