Part-time employees not entitled to regularisation: SC

Part-time employees not entitled to regularisation: SC

Part of: Prelims and GS-II – Judiciary 

Context: The Supreme Court has held that part-time employees are not entitled to seek regularisation as they are not working against any sanctioned post in the Government.

• It said that Regularisation could be only as per the policy declared by the State/Government and “nobody can claim the regularisation as a matter of right”.
• The status of permanency cannot be granted when there is no post. 
• Mere continuance every year of seasonal work during the period when work was available does not constitute a permanent status.
