Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's directive for the State of Gujarat to consider the regularization of the respondents' services, who were initially appointed for a fixed term in a government project. The court emphasized the need for the State to act sympathetically towards the respondents' cases and allowed for the creation of supernumerary posts if necessary. The judgment reinforces the principle of fair treatment in employment matters, particularly for those who have served in government projects.
