UNION OF INDIA vs BISHAMBAR DUTT.

The Supreme Court held that part-time employees appointed de hors the rules are not entitled to temporary status or regularization, as per the Ministry of Personnel's memorandum dated July 12, 1994. The Court emphasized that regularization can only occur if employees are appointed according to established rules after merit consideration. Consequently, the Tribunal's order to regularize the service of the respondents was deemed illegal and set aside, allowing the appeals.
