Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the regularization of part-time sweepers by the High Court was contrary to established legal principles, specifically referencing the judgment in State of Karnataka & Ors. v. Umadevi & Ors., AIR 2006 SC 1806, which states that there is no fundamental right for temporary or daily wage employees to be absorbed into regular service. The Court emphasized that appointments must comply with Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution, and the appeals were allowed, thereby setting aside the High Court's orders for regularization.
