Ushaben Joshi vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's Special Civil Application No. 5115 of 2018, affirming the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision which rejected her plea for regularization in Group 'D' post. The Court noted that the appellant, a contingency worker since 1986, did not meet the criteria for regularization as per the applicable circulars and schemes, specifically referencing the judgment in Daily Rated Casual Labour v. Union of India (1988) 1 SCC 122. The Court held that the authorities acted within their jurisdiction in denying the appellant's request for regularization based on her part-time status and the absence of applicable rules.
