Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the direction to regularize part-time employees is contrary to law, as established in State of Karnataka & Ors. v. Umadevi & Ors., AIR 2006 SC 1806, which states that there is no fundamental right for daily wage or temporary employees to claim regularization. The Court emphasized that regular appointments must comply with Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution, and that part-time employees are not entitled to equal treatment with regular employees. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision without setting a precedent for future cases.
