SHRI N.K. JANU, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, SOCIAL FORESTRY DIVISION vs LAKSHMI CHANDRA

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the recall application for a previous order regarding the regularization of daily wage employees under the Uttar Pradesh Regularisation of Daily Wages Appointments on Group 'D' Posts Rules, 2001. The Court reiterated that daily wagers are entitled only to the minimum pay scale and not to any other allowances or increments unless regularized. The Court emphasized that the eligibility for regularization must adhere to the criteria established in prior judgments, including the case of Uma Devi, which disallows regularization without a proper selection process.
