STATE OF GUJARAT vs KARSHANBHAI K. RABARI &ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the Division Bench of the Gujarat High Court erred in granting benefits to daily wage workers beyond those specified in the Government Resolution dated 17.10.1988. The Court emphasized the distinction between regularization and permanence in service, referencing the Constitution Bench decision in Secretary, State of Karnataka v. Umadevi [2006 (4) SCC 1]. The Court quashed the High Court's order, reaffirming that benefits must align strictly with the provisions of the resolution and cannot extend to additional benefits not explicitly mentioned.
