EXECUTIVE ENGINEER ZP ENGG. DIV. vs DIGAMBARA RAO ETC. ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of writ petitions seeking regularization of daily wage employees under the Kriya Scheme, stating that the respondents were not entitled to regularization as their services were terminated in 1996 and the scheme had ended. The Court emphasized that mere length of service does not confer a right to regularization, aligning with principles of Service Law. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decisions dated 9.11.2000 and 20.11.2000.
