State Of Uttranchal And Anr vs Prantiya Sinchai Avam Bandh Yogana ...

The Supreme Court held that the non-regularization of employees who had worked for more than 240 days in a year does not automatically entitle them to regularization, as established in Secretary, State of Karnataka v. Uma Devi (2006) 4 SCC 1. The Court emphasized that regularization cannot be granted in contravention of rules framed under Article 309 of the Constitution of India. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition, affirming that the Labour Court's findings were consistent with established legal principles regarding employment regularization.
