THE STATE OF HIMACHAL PRADESH REVENUE SECRETARY vs PINJU RAM

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of regularization of part-time employees under the Himachal Pradesh policy, specifically focusing on the rights of part-time class-IV employees who completed ten years of service. The Court held that while the State Government's policy allowed for conversion to daily wage status, it did not entitle employees to retrospective financial benefits, as clarified in the High Court's earlier judgment. The Court upheld the principle that seniority could be granted from the date of completion of ten years of service but with no arrears or consequential monetary benefits.
