JIVANLAL vs PRAVIN KRISHNA, PRINCIPAL SECRETARY .

The Supreme Court held that the appellants, who sought regularization of their services after completing 10 years, were entitled to the same treatment as similarly situated individuals who had been granted regularization. The Court found that the respondents had violated their own policy by discriminating against the appellants, emphasizing that a pick and choose policy could lead to corruption. The appeals were allowed, directing the respondents to regularize the appellants' services and disburse consequential benefits within specified timelines, with interest applicable for delays.
