Vibhuti Shankar Pandey vs The State Of Madhya Pradesh

The Supreme Court examined the issue of regularization of daily wage workers who lacked the minimum qualification for their posts but had been working for a long period. The Madhya Pradesh High Court had initially granted regularization, which was later set aside by the Division Bench. The Court considered whether relaxation of qualification criteria through government circulars could justify regularization in such cases. The judgment underscores the importance of adhering to prescribed qualifications and the limits of relaxation for regularization purposes.
