Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court to regularize the services of six Assistant Project Managers appointed under a temporary scheme, emphasizing that the right to regularization arises when employees have worked for a significant period under a clear expectation of regular employment. The Court noted that the principles of fairness and justice, as enshrined in Article 14 of the Constitution, necessitate the regularization of services in such cases. The appeal by the Corporation was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order for regular pay-scales.
