State Of U.P. And Ors. vs Putti Lal

The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's directive for the regularization of daily rated wage earners in the Forest Department, emphasizing the need for a scheme to be framed under the Uttar Pradesh Regularization of Daily Wages Appointment on Group 'D' Posts Rules, 2001, enacted under the proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution. The Court ruled that the statutory rules govern the regularization process, negating the need for any further scheme by the State. The Court declined to entertain grievances regarding the rules, stating that such issues should be addressed in appropriate forums, and maintained the status quo regarding wage payments during the appeal process.
