Union Of India & Ors vs Sheela Rani

The Supreme Court held that the regularization of casual workers cannot be granted retrospectively from the date of initial appointment, as per the principles established under the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. The Court emphasized that regularization must align with existing recruitment rules and only occur when a vacancy exists. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the respondent's claim for retrospective regularization was not valid.
