Shri N.K. Janu, Deputy Director, Social ... vs Lakshmi Chandra

The Supreme Court upheld the principles established in the Uttar Pradesh Regularisation of Daily Wages Appointments on Group 'D' Posts Rules, 2001, affirming that daily wagers are entitled to minimum pay scales as per their counterparts in government service, as per the ruling in State of U.P. vs. Putti Lal (2006) 9 SCC 337. The Court reiterated that regularisation is contingent upon continuous service, as interpreted in Visheshwar vs. Principal Secretary, Forest. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision regarding the ineligibility for regularisation due to intermittent service.
