Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reiterated that part-time employees do not have a fundamental right to regularization of their services, as established in State of Karnataka & Ors. v. Umadevi & Ors., AIR 2006 SC 1806. The Court held that directions for regularization must comply with Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution, requiring adherence to proper recruitment processes. The appeals were dismissed, affirming that the High Court's direction to regularize part-time sweepers was contrary to established legal principles.
