The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of daily wage workers in Andhra Pradesh for regularization after five years of service, examining the constitutionality of amendments to the Andhra Pradesh (Regulation of Appointments to Public Services and Rationalization of Staff Pattern and Pay Structure) Act, 1994. The Court held that the amendments were not ultra vires and emphasized the need for adherence to Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution, reinforcing the principle that appointments must be made in a fair and transparent manner. The appeals by the State Government and agencies were dismissed, affirming the rights of the employees to seek regularization under lawful conditions.
