Satya Prakash & Ors vs State Of Bihar & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the appellants, who worked for over ten years on a daily wage basis, are not entitled to regularization under the principles established in Umadevi's case (2006) 4 SCC 1, specifically paragraph 53, as they were not appointed in sanctioned posts. The Court clarified that the benefit of regularization applies only to those who were irregularly appointed in sanctioned positions, not to daily wage workers. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Patna High Court's decision that no right to regularization exists for daily wage employees without adherence to recruitment rules.
