Prem Ram vs M.D. Uttarakhand Pey Jal & ...

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of regularization of daily-wagers in the context of the Umadevi (3) ruling, specifically referencing the principles established therein. The Court held that the appellant, whose termination was set aside, could not claim regularization without a formal scheme in place, as there was no such scheme for daily-wagers at the time of his appeal. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to dismiss the appellant's writ petition, emphasizing the need for a structured approach to regularization as outlined in paragraph 53 of the Umadevi (3) judgment.
