Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision to allow the Writ Petitions challenging the West Bengal State Administrative Tribunal's dismissal of applications for regularization of Copywriters as Lower Division Clerks under the West Bengal Registration (Copywriters) Rules, 1982 and 1999. The Court emphasized the need for fair treatment and regularization of employees performing similar duties, thereby reinforcing the principle of equal opportunity in public employment. The judgment resulted in the State of West Bengal being directed to accommodate the Copywriters in the LDC cadre, ensuring their job security and stability.
