Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of regularization of public employment, emphasizing that mere contractual employment does not confer a right to regularization. The Court held that the appellant's repeated short-term contracts did not establish a legitimate expectation for permanent employment under Article 14 and Article 16 of the Constitution. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that denied regularization.
