UNION OF INDIA vs SANT LAL & ORS.ETC.ETC.

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of regularization of casual workers in Group 'D' posts at the Regional Training Institute, emphasizing that the Central Administrative Tribunal's directions for preparing a seniority list and considering regularization were not a mandate for automatic regularization. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that there was no positive direction for regularization, thus affirming the need for consideration of regularization based on vacancies. The judgment clarified the procedural approach required for regularization under service law principles.
