CHIEF COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX vs SUSHEELA PRASAD .

The Supreme Court held that the regularization of services based on long tenure is not permissible under the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, as established in Uma Devi's case (2006 (4) SCC 1). The Court emphasized that regular recruitment must be adhered to, and ad hoc appointments should not lead to regularization without following due process. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was therefore dismissed, affirming the principle that temporary or casual employment does not automatically entitle one to permanent status.
